It sounds like you're right to put high importance on cost of attendance, especially since public service and humanitarian careers will likely have modest starting salaries.
I know that SAIS in particular has a reputation for being heavy on quant skills, so you would probably need to put extra work in given your weakness in that area.
I'm curious why you didn't apply to BU, since you did an IR degree there for undergrad. I'm applying there as well, so I'm curious to hear what you thought.
