Usually says it in the letter, I believe

Is Fletcher's program full-time?

Congrats. Decent scholarship package? Program is expensive lol

Heard back a while back. When did you apply?

What kind of scholarships are y'all getting? Partner Institution or Internal?

admitted for ISPM

InfoSec, not PPM!

Just received my admissions offer this afternoon! I am extremely excited by the opportunity. However, it looks like tuition will come out to $65k total after scholarship. Have you heard of students being able to negotiate or request further funding? Trying to find a way to pay for this thing!

Congrats. NYU Tandon?

I know it's pretty speculative, but do you think Fall will be fully in-person again? I'm a bit confused by the "hybrid" model being discussed. I'm planning to attend grad school (hopefully Heinz) this coming Fall, but I'm weighing the pros and cons of deferring for a year. Georgia Tech is also one of my top choices, and their identical degree program is only $9k total cost of attendance. Now that in-person programs are seemingly being held online, it makes the cost-benefit analysis especially difficult.

Makes sense. Georgetown is definitely the place to be if you’re interested in the IR/foreign policy side of things. I’m coming from a policy-heavy undergraduate and professional background, so I took the opposite approach, hoping to gain some technical exposure. CMU MSISPM, Georgia Tech OMSCyber, Boulder ITP/TCP, and USD Cybersec Engineering are on my radar. I’ve also looked at Georgetown’s Risk Management program, but I’m not sure if I want to specifically focus on Risk management. Too many options out there (and they’re not exactly cheap either!)

I’m also in the Cybersecurity grad school boat. May I ask why you focused your efforts on Georgetown? I’m assuming location/proximity was a big factor in your decision? I cast out a relatively wide net for Cybersecurity masters programs, but I didn’t think to apply to Georgetown!

That's incredibly helpful, thank you! Your positive experience is very encouraging. Follow up question: do you know anything about the Quantitative Skills Summer Program (QSSP)? Sorry to bombard you with questions!

Hey @woolscarves, do you have any exposure/insight regarding the MSISPM program at Heinz? It seems to be a relatively small program with significant diversity in regard to class profile and employment outcomes. The curriculum is also quite broad. I'd appreciate your thoughts!

Still patiently waiting for updates :)
