MSFS vs. SIPA and Open House Feedback

[Thecaptain789]

Hi all,

I just got word that I got into MSFS (was previously on the waitlist). I was already set on going to SIPA but I have a scholarship offer of 20,000 per year (for 2 years) at Georgetown´s GPPI which I can use towards a dual MPP-MSFS degree, so now am considering Gtown. I didn´t get a chance to attend the MSFS open house so I was wondering if anyone out there has any comments on why they chose MSFS, especially over SIPA if you had that choice to make. The scholarship makes both schools about the same price since the dual degree is 3 years.

Thanks!

I went to both open houses. For me, the first major difference is location and the second is size. What are your career goals? Given that the schools have very different focuses, knowing what you want to do after school will (IMO) help you make the right choice.
