Hi,
I have been accepted into 5 masters programs. JHU SAIS (Bologna 1st year, DC 2nd year), American SIS, NYU SCPS, Carnegie Mellon (Heinz III), and University of Pittsburgh's GSPIA.
Right now I am torn between GSPIA, which has offered me a full ride, and SAIS, which is the best program for what I want to do. Is SAIS worth it? Everyone, my academic advisors, my parents, and my peers thinks so. But right now I am debt-free and hesitant to take on debt. Please help me!
