Got into Cornell CIPA +$26k about a week ago via email

Recommended for admission at GWU, no funding... just waiting for NYU-Wagner

I agree with USMA06 in general except I think Amer.U is in that second tier as well.US News has MPAs from AU-SPA at #6 and GWU-Trachtenberg at #15. MPP comparison forum I saw said GWU > AU. I know GW is generally considered more elite (Undergrad, Elliot, Law School, etc.) so what accounts for US News ranking then?

The inkier the better for me, I'm a cursive guy and like a steady flow of the black stuff. Pilot Varsity disposable fountain pen and the G2. Definitely smudgy and drippy so if you can't keep your palm out of the way stick with the Sharpies, LePens, etc.

Anyone know of a forum or other resource comparing MPAs from AU - SPA and GWU - Trachtenberg? US News has AU at #6 and GWU at #15. MPP comparison forum says GWU > AU. I know GW is generally considered more elite (Undergrad, Elliot, Law School, etc.) so what accounts for US News ranking. Any help appreciated... stats in signature
