from what i heard, hopkins is up and coming. #7 this year for us news. oregon... i actually don't think it belongs up there either.

No specialty. Just when you hear the name, which ones stick out to you the most? Please pick two schools.

Is LSE Msc one-year degree recognized in America? Would I be on par with SIPA, SFS, SAIS graduates when I am job hunting?

Some of programs are still open so I am interested in applying. However, LSE says I need at least 3.5 GPA. If I don't have 3.5, am I automatically disqualified? Anyone who applied to LSE know about this? Thank you!

You have a good shot at all schools except HKS and WWS. Work two years then you'll have a chance at those schools, too.

How about UCSD?

1. Princeton Woodrow Wilson 2. Harvard Kennedy School 3. Johns Hopkins SAIS 4. Georgetown SFS 5. Tufts Fletcher 6. Columbia SIPA 7. Stanford IPS 8. Yale 9. George Washington Elliot 10. London School of Economics

40k starting. 100k after 10 years, thanks to the natural inflation. I am not a top student and I know the reality of the job market nowadays.

Assume I get no $$$, is TC worth 60k a year? I think Harvard is worth the money but I got rejected there. I feel like TC is not worth 60k. As a Harvard admitted student, do you think the same? Or do you think TC is worth it? If you were rejected from Harvard but got into TC, would you go? I know that everything is contingent upon your individual situation but please share your general thoughts on TC. I am not from US so I don't know TC's reputation. Certainly, Columbia isn't well-known in the 3rd world countries where I want to work, whereas Harvard is definitely a career booster. This is driving me crazy!
