Hey everybody, I want your thoughts.
**Admitted to MALD at Fletcher with a $30k/$140k scholarship for the 2 years & IHEID IRPS fast-track without any aid. Waiting on external aid which should be another $30k.
**My background: Fresh out of college. Financially independent. International.
Options are:
1. Attend Fletcher. Defer one-year. Work. Apply to more fellowships, and eventually take loans. Overall, very expensive, but possible.
2. Attend IHEID. Should have sufficient to pay for first year, but should pray to get any aid for the PhD.
I love both programs, but Fletcher has been more active in reaching out and selling the program better.
What would you do? Either choice would be expensive.
