Ultimate Decision & Why: Will accept depending on availability of federal loans (still up in the air). Great opportunity to study and live in Berlin, learn German, good curriculum, professional year option, and some great dual degree (SiPA, LSE, Sciences Po) and exchange opportunities. Offering a new ATLANTIS program with Syracuse that I will possibly pursue - dual MPA at Syracuse/MPP at Hertie. Very inexpensive relative to US schools. Any advice to Future Applicants? Keep essay clear and to the point. Apply before Feb 1st to be considered for scholarship.
