NYU Wagner v Fletcher MALD v Georgetown SFS

<p>I’m going for Spring admissions at the above programs (along with USC MA in Economic Development). As I’ve said before, I was accepted into Chicago Harris, SAIS and USC MPP programs but after the death of a close relative, I decided I couldnt face upto the immense change straight away so decided to defer. Unfortunately, Chicago or SAIS would not allow me to defer as I didnt meet the deadline so rather then reapply for Fall 2012, Spring is an option for me.</p>

<p>Ideally I would like to get into private consulting within the public sector or multi-lateral organisations such as IMF, World Bank, UN, etc. </p>

<p>What program of the above is best for me? I’m an Oxford law graduate, with a masters too but decided becoming a lawyer was not for me. I have various internship experience within law and public policy, solid GPA and GRE’s.</p>

<p>Any thoughts? I like NYU but an issue would be that I would need to complete the program within 2.5 years as the capstone requirement poses an issue. Fletcher is a great name but with a concentration in law also apart of its syllabus, its perhaps redundant for me. Georgetown seems to be the standout program at the moment.</p>

<p>Anyone with any tips would be most welcome. Thanks.</p>
