I know this might sound crazy but I'm trying to decide between The New School (MA in Intl. Affairs) and SIPA. (actually SIPA would be the dual degree program with the Hertie school in Berlin) The New School is not as well known but I received a scholarship there, they have a pretty strong faculty, are very progressive, and have a strong program for intl development. But SIPA is SIPA. Can anyone give me more pros to SIPA that don't surround the name/reputation? Do you think that really matters that much?

I've noticed that a number of people who've applied to SIPA have already received their notices and the majority have been accepted. Do you think they are holding the rejections for later this month? Does anyone know if there is a logic to their admissions notifications? I still haven't heard of my status and am beginning to think that means I've been rejected... Alicia SIPA MIA/MDP applicant
