Are you saying SAIS is considered better in the field or SIPA? Tbh based on my informational interviews I have had they say there isn’t a strong difference and both programs are great. The hiring rate post grad is about the same too.
I am leaning towards SAIS tbh. I feel like to an employer, it’s likely splitting hair which one is better. I just don’t know if New York is right for me or worth the cost of living. But I really don’t want to make a mistake here and am a little worried about potentially shutting down this Ivy League opportunity.
all things considered, I don’t know if one of the programs is “better” than another. I feel like location is a big factor here for me, and Italy AND DC seem to match me better than NYC. That being said, there’s a chance I am just ignorant to the ways SIPA is “better” because I haven’t done my research yet.
it’s not that serious. I am also a bit bummed out but like if you’re coming on a forum looking for facts instead of speculation you’re in the wrong place.
