SFS vs SAIS for Latin American Studies

[georgia82]

Hi all,

I have been accepted to Georgetown SFS and SAIS for Latin American Studies. After grad school, I want to work in development. I realize that a few people here have said that SAIS is #1 for IDEV. However, I am more impressed with the LAS faculty at Gtown. Without question, the ECON emphasis at SAIS is important for IDEV, but does it matter that much for someone who would focus on political economy anyway? Also, I did NOT get any funding at SFS or SAIS. I am very lucky to have two solid options, but I would greatly appreciate any thoughts/comments you all might have--including general opinions about either school.

Thanks!
