Just to confirm, a prospective student at SIPA does not need to complete intro to micro/macro before enrolling?
-
Thanks! I did watch this video, and have done a lot of research on the two. At the end of the day, I think it's going to come down to the location.
-
I have no background in finance and see these programs as strong stepping stones to breaking in to the field. I am fortunate in that I won't have to take out loans for these schools. MBA/Phd might be down the line if I believe that's the next step for me.

Seeking a career in international finance. Both schools offer concentrations and specializations in finance.
-
Anyone care to chime in on the open houses?
-
The debate is not new but I believe a refresher is due. From someone that's been to either school, what are the pros/cons? I'm seeking a career in finance (not necessarily banking). From what I've heard, SAIS has the stronger program but Columbia is in NYC. Does location matter? I was not able to attend the open houses as I'm out of the country.
-
Exactly my position right now.
-
Anyone else debating between SIPA and SAIS? Could someone knowledgable about both pitch in about which would be better suited for someone considering a career in consulting and international finance?
-
Congrats to everyone who got in! It's a great program1

Does anyone else have more info on second year funding? I know that if you received funding you're guaranteed that amount for the next year, however if you didn't, what are the chances of getting any and is it based on merit or need?
-
Is the employment account for SIPA 2016 a fluke or a sign of a trend? Lot of people getting into Deloitte, McKinsey, etc. This is making me reconsider SAIS.
-
What tech do you recommend to get for taking notes in class? I'll be attending a school like SAIS or SIPA and would like to know if most people have regular clamshell laptops or is there a trend towards 2in1s (taking notes on tablets)?
-
Funding aside, which one would be better for someone looking to enter the IR Finance world, investment banking or management consulting? I've looked at the employment reports and both seem appealing. What do you guys think?
-
In general, I know people can ask for more funding. However, if you haven't received any at all, can you still email to try to get more? (I'm sure a lot of people who receive funding turn it down)
