Thanks a lot for the info! Glad to hear the opinion from an alumnus Will try ur advice concerning the funding!

Ohh got it now, thanks for explaining ;)

Thanks for all the info! Really helpful for me, especially the part of career paths for Georgetown alumni. For the interested area, my stream at Sciences Po is Management and Public Affairs. My undergrad background is economics so quantitative methods shouldn't be too challenging for me, but I doubt how quantitative the courses will be in the management stream. Btw, I am curious that why a possible interest in IDEV will change ur answer? For other options, I am not applying to many programs this year. Georgetown, Sciences Po and NUS are my best ones so far, but I am also considering other programs, like Chicago Harris.... maybe? I am trying to diversify my choices on locations and not focusing too much on one country (learnt this important lesson due to the pandemic lol). Thanks again!

Hi @GradSchoolGrad! 1/2/4. I‘m looking for a career in a public-sector research institution or in an international organization. As for the location, I prefer America > EU > Singapore. The biggest challenge for US is that I'm not sure about the chances of me staying in the US after graduation, espcially given to the worsening China-US relation (yep from China and do not plan to come back immediately after graduation). The main challenge in terms of EU is that I don't speak French... 3. Can't get a job in a research institution or in an international organization as a bachelor. Also not really want to work in China. I am considering the master's program as a chance to gain an entrance ticket for my career and build up my network abroad, so the reputations of schools and the resources from alumni matter for me. 4. Yeah the financial problem... Getting a small funding from Georgetown, still waiting for decision from Sciences Po. Georgetown is going to cost me 2.5-3 times than Sciences Po, 1.5 times than NUS (all 2-year program).

Hi guys, I am an international student applying for Master of Public Policy. Have received two offers, one from Sciences Po and another from Georgetown, and am expecting the result from National University of Singapore(NUS). I am planning to work (at least for a few years) abroad after graduation. I need some suggestions on the schools' reputations and impacts on career paths, and would love to get some info from you guys. Thanks :)
