<p>Hi, i was recently admitted to these three schools(Undergrad):U of Denver, American U & Northeastern U.</p>
<p>My major intend to be "International Relations"/"International Affairs". </p>
<p>My stats:</p>
<p>GPA:3.2/4.0(UW)</p>
<p>SAT:1920/2400</p>
<p>TOEFL:100</p>
<p>EC: tons...(no need to mention?) leader of few clubs, also volunteered in Uganda during last summer break.</p>
<p>Essay: Pretty good, AU said some sweet things abt it in the admission letter.</p>
<p>My Question:
My brother is an sophomore in AU and he told me AU was a great school, especially if i want to study IR. But U of Denver did offer me a 10K scholarship/year(40k in total). Besides, I was informed that NEU rank higher than both other schools. So now i'm kinda frustrated and confused: which school to go!! Please help me to make up my mind.</p>
<p>Which school is worth more and why.. </p>
<p>BTW, I'm an international student(American Citizen) live and study in Shanghai, China.</p>
<p>Thanks for helping!!!</p>
<p>Northeastern is all around a better school than American, but American is better in International relations.</p>
<p>Yep, I’d pick American.</p>
<p>allcapella & CSIHSIS,</p>
<p>Thx for helping~</p>
<p>Another Question:</p>
<p>what about denver, how’s it reputation in IR?</p>
<p>cuz it did offer me a 40k scholarship, which is a lot, to me…</p>
<p>Thanks a lot!!</p>
<p>I’d pick American, IR program is top 10 in the country and lots of internship opportunities. Plus, being in D,C will be a great experience generally for someone from overseas (I’m also an American citizen living overseas:)</p>
<p>Denver is overall a pretty strong school, arguably stronger than American overal. However, American still is stronger for IR. In terms of IR I would say American>Northeastern>Denver.</p>
<p>loll Appreciate everyone’s advices…</p>
<p>SummerAus, thx for helping, DC definitely is a fantastic city, according to what my brother told me, “Despite it’s price…” & just curious, where do you live? </p>
<p>allcapella, i guess i would just be considering between AU & NEU from now…XD</p>
<p>BTW, I forgot to mention that AU also offer me to get in the University college program, here’s what they said in the admission letter: “In recognition of your outstanding academic achievement, we are also pleased to offer an invitation to join the University College program.” Does anyone know about this program? What’s the difference between attending this program and not to? </p>
<p>And also, how do know whether I got a scholarship from AU or not? I haven’t receive the official admission letter(mail) yet, I believe the details of scholarships and FA are on it. Is there any other way to find out?</p>
<p>Again, thx for helping,everyone~</p>
