SAIS MIEF vs LSE MPA vs IHEID International Economics

[InternationalStudent]

I've found myself having to choose between these three masters programs. I think the right choice is technically IHEID, as it has an excellent placement record in international organizations, it's significantly cheaper than the other two, class size is small, entry into the program is very competitive, and it lets me keep the academia door open (while the other two are strictly professional programs). 

That said, I feel like by choosing IHEID I'd be banking on being able to get into an international organization to stay abroad or to get into a PhD, as IHEID has zero name recognition in my small Central American country. Meanwhile, people here have definitely heard of both LSE and Johns Hopkins..
