Hi! Glad to hear of people who have been accepted to the same program as me! I was admitted to the dual degree MPP-MPA between Sciences Po and Columbia as well and accepted the offer. I didn't apply to SIPA's MPA aside from the dual degree (I was already admitted to Sciences Po's MPP) because of Columbia's tuition fees, and also because I think a dual degree is a great opportunity in terms of network and academics (plus getting 2 degrees in only 2 years sounds nice). I'll admit that being French my choice might seem obvious (the name Sciences Po definitely matters there, especially in the public policy field) but I already went to Sciences Po for undergrad so that wasn't the most important factor for me. @Sraz16: Is it the MPP-MPA dual degree or the MIA one ? Did you end up accepting the offer?
@max05er: Let me know of your decision!
