hello,
i've been admitted to sais for the MA program. i have a few questions about it:
-i didn't ask for aid thinking it'll lower my chances of admission. can i now ask for aid?
-i'm from india and i'd like to return to india after finishing the program. NehAgg, or anyone else have any idea what kind of career options i'd have after my return? i'm not very keen on the indian foreign service.
-i did my undergrad (computer science) at johns hopkins and was offered a $70,000 job in the US. however, i declined it and returned to india. so if i were to look for a job in the private sector in the US again after sais, what field should i be aiming for? what kind of compensation should i expect? i'm looking to focus on south asian studies and either strategic studies or conflict management.
-considering all of the above, should i accept the sais offer? or should i work more and apply for an mba (i'm 22)? i'm more interested in international relations, but mba seems to be a more practical option.
thanks!
