Help! (MA Int'l Dev'l)

[karakchai]

thinking through my limited options, any advice would be greatly appreciated. accepted at JHU SAIS (MA South Asia Studies) and UMD (MPP International Development); waitlisted at GW Elliott (MA International Development Studies) and waiting to hear back from a few more schools. no news of funding from anyone so far. want to focus on development in south asia, particularly india, as a grad student. thoughts? obviously SAIS is stellar, but i'd be slightly better off financially if i eventually get into GW.. IF being the key word, i guess. somebody just say something to calm me down, please.
