  1. The difference in funding is $18,000/year, which is significant. I am going to visit Cornell soon to try and get a sense of the program- honestly, I've already reconciled myself to some post-graduate debt, and I can swallow the $36,000 if it means that I attend a better program that has more to offer. The prestige is becoming less and less of an issue, and I'm now more concerned with whether or not a newer program like CIPA has the structure, courses, professors and post-graduate resources to give me the best advantage.
  2. I was happily admitted to a few programs (LSE, SIPA, Brown Taubman, Duke Sanford and Cornell CIPA) and am now choosing between Duke and Cornell (had to strike LSE and SIPA off my list due to lack of funding). Cornell offered a lot more money, but I was very impressed by everything I heard and saw down at Duke's open house. My main dilemma now is between a more well-known, respected and certainly well-established school (Duke) and a new, interesting program that is offering more financial assistance (CIPA). Does anyone have thoughts on how these two programs compare, and is anyone else in a similar conundrum? I am leaning towards Duke, partly because their career services seem so good, but don't want to throw away money for prestige... Thanks!
