<p>sally - reading comprehension must not be one of your strong suits considering i said both grad and undergrad since you don’t go to school with just undergrads lol. total grads for NU and AU are 19k and 10k therefore nearly “twice as large” like i indicated earlier. both of my points were correct lol</p>
<p>allcapella - you have the right idea, but you don’t acknowledge that AU is better at IR. the Foreign Policy magazine Teaching Research and International Policy survey is the best indicator of IR school rankings and AU places on both undergrad and grad at 10 & 8 respectfully while Northwestern doesn’t. look at methodology if you want more info. also dc offers over 50,000 ngo, non-profit, governmental, and private sector internships (that’s right… JUST internships) that you would never get elsewhere (well, maybe NY but different jobs than dc really)… going to AU as a top 10 ir program opens doors and being in dc opens doors and a career. like i said on an earlier post somewhere on this forum i’ve completed 2 internships and now work on a government intelligence internship… if you do a semester program here you won’t be able to get the internship opportunities and then build off of that to get better internships and better experiences. my 2 cents</p>
<p>sorry i typed in all lowercase just woke up feel lazy</p>
