Thanks guys.
Ballesteritos: So what limitations do you see IDG's lack of quant. giving you. Couldn't you register for quant. classes in Kennedy & MIT? What about the program overall?
Rose: My interests are Regional Economic Development, Infrastructure Planning, & Entrepreneurship in the developing world. Public Policy & International Planning equally address these areas. The professors are mainly Economists, Political Economy, & Regional Scientists, but oddly enough core requirements don't seem to reflect that. But for reasons of Int'l exposure, and a self-designed program, I think MIT is the winning ticket. I also got in to SAIS, NYU Wagner, waitlisted at Jeff Sachs' new MPA-DP program... but I see Berkeley & MIT as either more flexible or better connected than all of those.
Thoughts?
