If your heart is into IR, I would say its wash between SAIS and SIPA MIA from a pure academic perspective. I recommend you think about where you would build community. SIPA in general has reputation of everyone having their NYC lives and the study body not being that cohesive. SAIS generally is better in terms of community. Honestly, you need to visit the two to really get to know.

As for McCourt... go there if you want to do IDEV program analysis work or ride the Georgetown mafia to get into Capital Hill... but short of that, it is a pretty poor option to get into most other international relations oriented jobs. In terms of overall MPP quality Harris wins academically hands down. Obvious downsides to not being in DC as well as pros. 

Hey,  a little off-topic here but I'm stuck in a similar decision between Georgetown MSFS, SAIS, and SIPA, all with similar funding levels. Unfortunately with the coronavirus it seems that all three are only holding virtual open houses, so I won't get a chance to really visit the campuses and see what they're like. What would be your opinion be on the three if my ambition is to get into public sector work (most likely security-related)?
