Reason: Show[ed] me the money! Hard to get a funded MA, and a funded MA at a place like Tufts is a sweet deal.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I don't remeber posting my decision so here it goes. </p>
<p>Master of Public Policy at GW. Got a scholarship that covers full tuition. Money was not a key element in my decision, even though I didn't have the funds to afford it. GW was always my first choice, and I am really happy I got admitted and then granted this substantial scholarship. I am an international applicant and it is very difficult to receive such funds. In fact, most schools say academic assistance is extremly limited to international applicants. </p>
<p>Applied also to:
University of Maryland-CP, MPP, admitted. This was also an appealing program for me.
American University, MPP. admitted
Columbia University, MPA. waitlisted</p>
<p>So now I just have to apply for a student visa, hopefully I'll be in DC by August.</p>
