Hi everyone! This is my first post, but I've been lurking for a while. Congrats to all the new SAIS admits!
I'm facing a dilemma and I'd really like to get your valuable input. I applied to one of SAIS' dual degree programs (MBA with Wharton). I'm in at SAIS (IDEV, which I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT!) and I'm waiting to hear back from Wharton, but I feel like it's a pretty long shot. I've also been admitted to dual degree at Georgetown (McDonough MBA and GPPI). This is my dilemma: I've been offered no $$ at SAIS while I have scholarships at both GT schools. If I were to get into Wharton, I'd hands down take the SAIS/Wharton dual degree and take the debt hit. But since my desire to get an MBA plays a role, would it be better to take the GT dual degree over SAIS alone? (this seems like a really dumb question now that I'm typing it out...but I've seriously been struggling with this for a few days now!)
Does anyone else have this issue? I'd love any wisdom anyone might share.
