Chouchous

wow thank you so much- this is very helpful! Makes me lean toward SIS even more!

Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate your perspective. And no, it's not too late at all. I'm still not sure what to do. On the one hand, LSE is a dream come true and it would be foolish to underestimate its prestige, but at the same time, I just love the idea of studying in DC. I am from Europe and did my undergraduate degree in Canada. So in my case an SIS education would allow me to get the outsider perspective I guess. I hope to work for NGOs in Europe or abroad after graduation. SIS offered me some funding, which makes it the (much) better option financially. Since you seem to know a lot more about SIS than I do, what is your impression of the school's reputation with potential employers in DC? Is it fairly easy to find internships? If I decide to attend SIS, it would be for the unparalleled opportunities that DC has to offer, given my interests.

I've been accepted into the Msc Political Science and Political Economy program at the LSE and also into the Masters in US Foreign Policy at American/ SIS. My primary area of interest is US foreign policy and so I'm leaning strongly towards American. I am looking to work in DC upon completion of my studies. My impression is that the LSE has much greater prestige than SIS, so my question is would it be foolish to not attend LSE in my case? Any input would be highly appreciated, as I have to make a decision very very soon.
