disintegrate

Nope. Waiting eagerly!

Is the JHU Institute of PP US $39k per year or for both the years??I find it amazing that they would charge more than SAIS

Frustrating. I still have not recieved a response.

It is for the MPP. The MPP program there isn't too great. Am waiting to hear about the funding/fellowships.

got an acceptance from JHU

Gotta wait another weekend now.....Dammit! Waiting for a response from U of T

What if Plan B does not work out?

I am an international student. Securing a job in a cash strapped market is difficult. The market in Canada is relatively better. What do you think of the school and job opportunities there?

Got an accept from AU. Reject from GWU. I have not heard from GPPI,UMich,UToronto,JHU,UMD.Aargh!

got rejected from GWU. Gutted.

Yes, that's my concern. Not getting a job. Who wouldn't love some international experience.

I have applied for various schools for the MPP programs(Georgetown, GWu, UMich, AU etc). I would like to know if it's worth it for an international student to pursue an MPP degree in the USA. I would love to work for an NGO\think tank for a couple of years after my graduation. I am currently working in a public policy think tank in India.
