niceswing Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 for adcoms reading this: in the future, honestly don't do the unofficial email thing, it's not particularly helpful and also i think the grad school hates when you don't follow their process anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I saw you also applied for the MAIR program at SAIS. I too am debating between that program at Hopkins and SSP at Georgetown (assuming I get in there). I want to work in military assistance and oversight of foreign military sales, so SSP may be better for me, but SAIS is basically free for me at this point. You have any insight into which way you'd lean if all else was held equal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that I couldn't give you a more sophisticated understanding on the pros and cons as well as the career development of these two programs. I'm still an undergrad, and actually I haven't started thinking about which program is better for me (as I'm also waiting for SIPA and HKS). I'm currently planning for a policy career in security.

I received the email from the SSP admissions director, and I just realized that the funding info was also indicated in the attached letter, so I'm pretty sure it is real....

I'm honestly not super knowledgeable about the inner workings of State, but I think the part that would be of interest to me is the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. And yes, I'd want to work on enforcing the Leahy amendments. I served in the military previously, and don't have much interest in working for the DoD again. I've also been interested in working for the Government Accountability Office since they have a team of analysts that audit defense issues. Basically, I'm interested in watchdog roles that provide oversight of arms sales and the training of foreign militaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per last year's forum, the emails were sent the day after MPP/SSP's results! But I do think we might be stuck waiting until next week sadly.

I don’t know! Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Does anyone know that if you don't get the informal offer, you still have a chance of getting in (SSP)? Rheana Gray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
