I have a very different background and goals to SilkCat, so don't mean to hijack the thread and may make a separate post for this. But, I noticed you did not include DU-Korbel in your "pipeline" list. Where do you feel they stand? I have been accepted into MIIS, Fletcher, and SAIS, but Korbel is a favorite of mine for quality of life/location, curriculum, and $$ offered. I similarly would like the best job options for my issue-area focus (UN, State Dept, multi-laterals, or a job outside of DC/USA), but am trying to figure out how far brand really gets you knowing people who went to Big 7, but may not have landed jobs in that category. Any feedback would be appreciated!
