<p>NYU: Global Liberal Studies with 20k scholarship
- LOVE LOCATION
- Horribly expensive!
- Most prestigious, smallest, and most selective program of the my options
- GLS's job placement is questionable though since it's SO new</p>
<p>UT Austin: McCombs Business (ranked 7th in the nation) with 7k scholarship
- unbelievably cheap!
- location sucks. I dislike the thought of Austin, Texas.
- I don't like Business THAT much... I'd much rather do GLS or IR but I ultimately want a law degree so a business degree doesn't matter much in the long run
- very good safety net (as a degree and considering the cost of everything)</p>
<p>American U: School of International Service IR major Honors with 31k scholarship
- with this scholarship? affordable
- great location! It's no NYC but DC is great too
- probably the weakest school academically but SIS's IR is typically ranked top ten in the nation
- my mom wants to barf at the thought of me attending AU</p>
<p>My dream major is IR or GLS which is similar enough. I applied to McCombs though because it's the best UT has to offer. Plus, if I want a JD in law ultimately, then my undergrad degree doesn't matter too much. </p>
<p>Any suggestions? I'm at a total loss here. :(</p>
<p>Go Longhorns !! I love Austin. Too much debt not a good idea with law school. I think you can do a semester at AU or NYU and do some internship at the same time.</p>
<p>my d is admitted for the fall as an intended major in theatre (has not auditioned yet), so she will need to audition in October for Musical Theatre.
We understand there is a BA in Musical Theatre and BA in Theatre, both entered into by audition. However we are still very confused… Is there a NONaudition Performance Major for Theatre that she is in now, (as an “intended theatre major”) or that she will be for sure into if the BA auditions are not successful? We have read some posts about some “performance track” and “theatre arts” and “non performing theatre arts” but can’t find any program specifics on the website about these other options besides the two clear BA programs.</p>
<p>We’d appreciate it IMMENSELY if you could shed some light on this…
thank you so much!</p>
<p>Hah, I agree with TheKiwi ^. At first I thought reneemarie was trying to contrast AU and NYU, but the title and contents turned out to be all about AU. You need to ask people in the AU forum.</p>
<p>Thanks for being harsh and unkind. Way to go, TheKiwi and evolving! So “dudes”, i said I was a MOTHER wondering for my daughter. I really don’t know much about blogs, forems etc. May you get rudeness and contempt when you are in an environment you are not savvy with.</p>
<p>There was no intent to be “harsh and unkind.” Just trying to let you know we are not knowledgeable about AU. Go to the Alphabetical List of Colleges and go to the As for American University. You can ask the people who know about AU there. GL!</p>
<p>Believe it or not, I would actually recommend American University. </p>
<p>Even though it is the lowest rated out of the three schools, it has some of the best international relations internships in the country. There is no location better in the country for IR internships than DC. Any school in DC is just oozing with IR internships because of Capitol Hill, government bodies, politicians, etc…</p>
<p>You might not get the most comprehensive education out of American University, but speaking with a few people I know who go to AU, you will be set up quite easily for a job coming out of graduation. Granted, if you were deciding on another major I would probably recommend one of the other two, but IR is great at AU and will help you well in the long run. </p>
<p>I guess the 31k scholarship doesn’t hurt either considering most IR jobs don’t pay too high right when you come out of college. The debt might be a burden. These are all things for you to consider.</p>
