So this is how I think about it.
- Unless, you really want to live in NYC - there is no point in NYU - it simply isn't as good as a problem period (can talk about it in detail).
- Unless you really want to love San Diego life or do something China related - I don't understand UCSD
- If you want to be a diplomat and work with IOs, I would not do an MPP, especially when UCLA's is more domestic focused
- I think this is really a race between SAIS, Elliot, and Walsh.
If you really want to get in the data side of things, SAIS wins.
If there is a niche that Elliot has that appeals to you (Space, international health, probably lots more I'm not thinking about), then Eilliot wins
If you really want to focus on government to IO relations from a structural perspective, I think Walsh wins
Hope that helps
Thanks for your answer. So I should focus on D.C. schools. Will think about it, thanks!

Hello everyone!
It is time for me to make very hard choices regarding where I got accepted. I need your opinion on this. The problem is not tuition nor money. Actually, after graduation, my hope is to go back to France and work as a diplomat for the Government or within International Organizations. All programs are very attractive to me, as well as locations. If you have any views / advice / know which one should I consider first / second, please share.
Here are the universities (I added a few more):
- Master in International Affairs (GWU Elliott School)
- MA in International Relations (Johns Hopkins SAIS)
- Master in International Affairs (UCSD School of GPS)
- Master of Science in Foreign Service (Georgetown)
- MPP (UCLA)
- Master in International Relations (NYU)
Thank you very much!

Hi all! Congrats on your admissions to SAIS. I have one question: are deferrals easily granted? I am thinking to ask for a deferral for Fall 2022.
Thanks!

You might want to consider emailing them just in case. It’s been a rough year for all of us and I can only imagine what admissions staff must be going through. They seem to be fairly responsive so it’s worth a try
Ok ahah! I'm gonna try it, thanks.

Not at all. It remains unchanged since January (with checklist details)..

Hey! I haven't heard back from GPS since I applied (but like 10 days after the deadline). Do you think it is a bad sign? ?

No news yet. However, I saw that every year they sent the letters on a Thursday and Friday. So I think we should wait till the end of this week
I saw in 2019 it was on a Monday !

There are a few hours left for today, let's hope they bring us some good news! I looked at the threads for 2019, and the decisions were released around 5:30pm (for MIA), and around 3pm for 2020 (MPA). Best luck to you and be brave...!

Same (this was quite easy to ask for a waiver actually)

After submitting my applications I usually fall asleep for the next week going over my essays word-for-word in my head like a psychopath. I'm on dreams about being on campuses but not actually a student. I am so ready to be done with this application season. I did get into 3/3 schools so far and this is my last one so technically everything is fine but I want that clean sweep.
Same ahah! I just want to know about final decisions and I will relax for the rest of the year!
By the way, I was admitted to SAIS and I was wondering if SIPA was less/more selective? I have no idea about selection at Columbia (except this is a very selective University like many in the US).

Hi! Waitlisted at Duke today. Does anyone know the odds of getting in through an unranked waitlist? And if there's anything I can do to improve my chances?
Hi! Same question

Hi! I do not know what is the exact acceptance rate, however, a student at SAIS told me that it is quite high. But that’s all what I can tell sorry.
