  1. Hi @ssr12013 Thanks for your reply! I pushed SIPA to respond to my financial aid appeal sooner than they intended, so that I could make a fair and fully-informed decision, and they came back to me with no additional funding. So, I ended up deciding on WWS, not just because of the financial aid, but also general the personal attention and INVESTMENT they have in their students. I felt I couldn't turn it down. I will be really sad to not be in NYC, but hey, I shouldn't complain. Did you hear back about the waitlist??
  2. @spidy - thanks for your reply. What factors lead you to choose WWS > SIPA? Just curious. Also, I (might) be living in Trenton because since I got in off the waitlist, I don't get guaranteed on-campus housing. But hopefully I would be living at Princeton.
  3. Help!! I was accepted to Columbia SIPA a few weeks ago and offered 40k annual scholarship, plus admitted to the IFP which comes with an additional $9,500 fellowship (1 year). Super stoked on this (SIPA has always been my dream program)!! I decided to leave my future self with debt and I committed and paid the 2k deposit. Fast forward... just found out that I was admitted to Princeton WWS off the waitlist. Full ride + living stipend. Here's the dilemma: SIPA has always been my dream school. NYC is my city, all my friends and my partner are there, I love it, want to be there. But I would have to take on about 50k - 75k total debt (that accounts for living expenses). OR, I take Princeton WWS, no debt, but have to live in Trenton for 2 years. Am I being irresponsible to pass up the free ride? PS. I have an financial aid appeal in to SIPA, but despite my best efforts, I won't hear back about it until after my WWS decision is due. Thoughts?
