PEOPLE OF QUARANTINE,
Which graduate school should I go to? I've been watching a lot of America's Got Talent lately and I am actually a pretty big fan of social media because I'm not wearing adult diapers yet. Also, it is actually a pretty good way to crowdsource information to make a decent decision on something. Oh yeah and this stupid virus means I can't visit the schools. Most people seem to think that SAIS is the obvious/smart choice, but I'm not exactly sold yet.
THE CHOICES:
1. Johns Hopkins SAIS, Washington D.C., M.A. in Strategic Studies and International Economics. The best choice for me if I want to pursue a career in public service or the private sector. Also, the hardest. Econ will curb stomp my balls. SAIS = policy/practitioner.
2. University of Chicago, Committee on International Relations/Harris School of Public Policy, Dual Degree: M.A. in International Relations and M.A. in Public Policy. The best choice if I want to research and write more or pursue a Ph.D. I really enjoyed writing my undergraduate thesis on the South China Sea. Chicago = theory/scholar. Also, <3 IR theory.
3. Tufts University, The Fletcher School, M.A. in Law and Diplomacy in International Security Studies. I visited here in February. I visited here in February and I think this environment will be the most chill (not academically) but in terms of the flexibility/amount of course offerings and student body. This is sort of the compromise option (but also not really because I think it too is a more policy-based curriculum, but perhaps less than SAIS.)
SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT. Thanks :)
David
