GPPI or Columbia

[qiuchizhou]

I am an international student from China. I just got the admission of MPA program from SIPA. At this moment, I need to make a decision between GPPI MPP and SIPA MPA. I fell in love with G'town during my spring break trip and decided to apply. Columbia is my dream school since childhood. To be honest, G'town does not have a big name in China. When I talk to other people, I can see how confused they are about it. Columbia indeed has a great reputation overseas.

Any suggestions?

I would def. go for Columbia. SIPA has great reputation and alumni network. Plus the location and student body are much more international (if you are looking for employment outside the US).
