That sounds like little more than blind nationalism to me.

Georgetown MSFS vs. Fletcher
EscapingBrexit replied to CL_Fergus's topic in Government Affairs Forum
Thank you for your advice! I'm very fortunate in that a visa isn't a concern for me as a Green Card holder, and I will of course go to the cheaper school. At the moment they look like they will cost about the same. -
Georgetown MSFS vs. Fletcher
EscapingBrexit replied to CL_Fergus's topic in Government Affairs Forum
So this is my current choice too. Can anyone chip in? I'm ignoring the finance side for now as I've a few things in play. I've been really impressed by Fletcher so far, and I've enjoyed their events. I hadn't really been considering SFS too seriously until this week. I like the small cohort and close community at Fletcher. From what I've read, SFS is also small but is also quite cutthroat. Is that correct? -
Similar question. How much is Georgetown MSFS worth compared to other DC programs at GWU, American, SAIS? And Fletcher? I'm really not sure I can justify the expense.
-
I got an email earlier from student services with the details. It is all starting to get real!
-
Is there a group or something I should be in on Facebook etc? I got offered Work Study in my financial package and I have no idea what that looks like in reality. Any thoughts?
-
It's nearly decision time, people! What are we thinking?

Thank you so much! I'll let you know how it goes. -
Financial Aid Negotiation
EscapingBrexit replied to wildchartermage's topic in Government Affairs Forum
I have a question - does it matter if the scholarship offered from another school is lower if it makes their program significantly cheaper than your target offer? I.E> Target School offers 30% tuition (say $15k) School B offers 50% tuition ($10k). So the competing scholarship offers less money, but it is proportionally more significant due to the lower tuition in the first place. Can I still negotiate from that position? -
I'm pretty set on Fletcher at this point. I got in to GWU, American, Georgetown, and SAIS - but none of them have hit the level of Fletcher so far for me, in terms of funding or outreach. I'm increasingly excited about the coming year!
-
For your career aspirations, surely MSFS! You've an amazing offer from there! Congratulations
-
WHAT? For real!?
-
Wow. We're in the Wild West now.

'Just a few more minutes. They haven't quite suffered enough'...

I had a SAIS interview on the night of the Capitol incident. This has been a CRAZY cycle.
-
Hahahaha that's gold
-
Right now we are Schrödinger's applicants - neither accepted or rejected. I'm kinda at peace with this purgatory. ? Is anyone doing a Grad School result reaction YouTube video? Is anyone brave enough to do it for HKS?
-
Isn't it the most popular program, generally speaking, that attracts people from a variety of fields? Last year there were 35 pages of discussion. The 19th last year was insane.
-
That is some next level detective work. They should admit you for that alone... That has to be worthy of a Belfer Fellowship or something!!???
-
If results really do come out today, then I think Matt experimented with his slightly evil side this year. There's good Matt, who informs the world, and bad Matt, who keeps everyone in a minor state of cardiac arrest for weeks. ? I'm just so glad I don't work in admissions.
-
Last year I think they were either in the same email or on the same day, I can't remember exactly. People were posting 'I'm in with a CPL Fellowship' etc shortly after 3pm.
-
Last year's results came out at 3pm ish, I think in the past they've been more 12:30 - 1:00pm. Everyone was freaking out when that change happened to MYFAID. Maybe today really is the day? Someone buy Matt some more coffee to manifest this Perhaps you were right, @CAKHKS79
-
It's been interesting so far!
-
GWU Elliott has some of the best Africa faculty in DC, but GTown has a Africa certificate option right? I'm in a nearly identical position with similar interests, except I was admitted for MSFS.
-
Is the Oxford course one year? I think the Oxford name, cheaper price, and the international experience of being in the UK might be a good thing. I understand that Georgetown is a really attractive program though. Have you asked Georgetown if they can offer any funding? Even a few thousand dollars might help take the edge off it.
