Hello,
I wish you still came back and saw my question.
I also have a similar if less prestigious oversea academic experience( a Chinese studying for MA in int’l public policy in Japan), and is seeking a proper Master's program in all the universities you’ve mentioned above. I would like to do a PhD in political economy in the end though.
I wonder what was the result of your application in the end. Or rather, maybe you could give me a few suggestions of the programs you know, other than SAIS and Michigan CIR.
Truly regards,
