<p>It seems like between these two programs people tend to say SAIS is the better one - any thoughts? Anyone ever choose SFS over SAIS? Why or why not?</p>
<p>I've heard the same, but most of that has come from people who have chosen SAIS. I haven't met as many people who chose Georgetown. I visited both of them and I personally thought that Georgetown would have been a better fit for me, but unfortunately I didn't get in. Anyway, I think that they're both top programs and you'll be in a great position at either one. I'd recommend visiting each of them and talking with students and faculty to find out which might be the best fit for you.</p>
