  1. Sounds like your friend just made a really bad decision.
  2. Any current/past EUROSUD students - would love to connect with someone through PM
  3. Coming from: International tech policy role Deciding between: -Columbia SIPA - 30k (asked for more) -Columbia Area Studies - 20k (could also work FT or PT, work would provide $25k) -Georgetown SFS - 0 aid -Indiana Area Studies - Full Ride -Keep working, apply again next year Leaning: -Not accepting anything, after getting admitted I'm not feeling too motivated by any of these programs.
  4. Actually, I was offered 60k in funding AND conditional admissions saying I need to take calc or econ lol
  5. Admitted, then logged out and checked again, offered $30k per year. Not going to lie - pretty shocked. I thought they were stingy?
  6. +1 I received a Foreign Language and Area Studies grant this week which covers full tuition and a $15,000 stipend to an MA program at one of my schools. Part of me feels uncomfortable negotiating with other schools.... I can't really expect most programs (SFS, SIPA, etc) to match that level of support, let alone even offering full tuition.
  7. Hoping to get some perspective. I was admitted to a strong (but not extremely elite) humanities MA program in late January - but the letter made clear I received no funding. I then emailed the Program Director asking if funding was available/could be re-considered. She essentially let me know that I was "their number one priority" and that if I didn't get a school wide fellowship (that she thought I would secure), then she would advocate for a TA-ship (free tuition/stipend/insurance). While a TA-ship comes with the added responsibility of teaching - I'd sort of prefer it (as it is 2 years confirmed, and I'd get teaching experience). I would prefer getting that offered up-front irregardless of the other school-wide fellowship. Any thoughts? Just feeling strange to get this information through email - if they thought I deserved a TA-ship, why wouldn't they just award it to me?
  8. Serious question - after law school, don't you essentially have all the skills you'd need for gov jobs? Couldn't you just take a community college quant class?
  9. Thanks! But who really knows haha. When are we expected to hear from Glasgow?
  10. 1. A lot, I wouldn't go without a pretty solid package, hence also applying to a few less selective/more focused programs within EU policy. 2. Fall 2021 3. Rule of law development
  11. Applying to: Columbia SIPA, Columbia European Studies, Georgetown SFS, Indiana European Studies, GW European Studies, NYU European Studies UG Institution: UPenn UG Major: Foreign Area Studies UG GPA: 3.7 Language: Spanish (4/5), Turkish (2/5) Years out of UG: 2+ years Quant background: Only social science research methods... but I'm also not intending to go into any quant discipline within policy. Work experiences: 1 year U.S. government program assistant in terrorism related field, 1 year international policy associate at a large tech firm Other work experiences: 2 internships abroad in Eastern Europe/Middle East, one with Uncle Sam Recent Int'l. experiences: -My current role is very international/policy based GRE: no
