MA decision??

<p>my friend applied to several MA programs in IR… so far only got into 2 MA </p>

<li>MAPPS @ U of Chicago… supposedly it’s MA but i read some pros & cons and still very confused </li>
<li>American University (it’s one of the top programs in IR right? can’t seem to find that many discussions about this school)</li>
</ol>

<p>still waiting to hear from SAIS, UCSD and GW, but if these are the only 2 admitted, which one do you think is better? for career and possibly Ph D in the future? </p>

<p>THANK YOU!</p>
