Pedrocc90 reacted to kasbah in SIPA vs Fletcher
I'm a Fletcher student, so I'm biased, but I chose Fletcher over SIPA because (actually I didn't end apply to SIPA because of these reasons)
Too expensive I heard through SIPA grads and current SIPA students that the big name professors are never there. Like, you'll never actually get to face time with Jeffrey Sachs I knew SIPA grads who were still looking for jobs a few months after graduation. Yeah, that happens to some Fletcher grads too, but I figured that if I end up in that position, I'd rather be in that position with a lot less debt Larger class sizes at SIPA At the same time, I'd rather be in NYC than Medford any day of the week.

Pedrocc90 reacted to Nffasa14 in SIPA vs Fletcher
Hey guys, congratulations to everyone who has been receiving acceptance letters the past few days! As the title suggests, I'm tryna weigh these two particular schools. Fletcher gave me 10K in total aid while SIPA gave me none. I'm also from New York so SIPA would be the hometown choice, while I went to college in Massachusetts so I'm also very familiar with Boston and New England. I have a pretty open mind about the two and I feel like they are on par with one another academically, I was just looking to see what people thought about some of the unique aspects of each one and which would be better for someone who was thinking about public/military sector after completing their studies. Thanks!
