Skz, thanks so much for taking the time to post this. I'm trying to make a final decision between SIPA and JHU IPS and I can't help looking wistfully to Columbia. JHU offered me funding (26,000) while SIPA is offering nothing in terms of money but JHU seems so much more focused on domestic issues whereas I'm looking to work more intensely with international policy, specifically in the Middle East. I know there is the whole SAIS certificate thing but SIPA just seems so much more geared to exploring international policy, and in much more detail. Can you speak to this at all? Can anyone? Ack!
