I'm sort of in the same position. I got admitted to IR/PS at UCSD (MPIA) and SIS at AU (International Peace and Conflict Resolution).
Seriously, both schools are so appealing to me that I'm currently going through a tough decision-making process...
I wanna focus on the "Cross-Strait Relations" between China and Taiwan, and I'd like to dedicate my career to improving the relationship between the two.
I also would like to work for American governmental sector that is dedicated for Sino-U.S relations.
As to funding, UCSD does not provide me any scholarship (I think it's because I'm an international student), and AU does provide me a funding that may cover the full 2-year program. But honestly, funding is not such a big issue, at least for now.
Could someone help me with some of your thoughts or opinions?
Thank you very much!
