<p>I am thinking about applying to three programs: </p>
<p>MA, Political Science from Columbia’s Poli. Sci. Dept.</p>
<p>MGA (MPA equivalent), Fels Institute UPenn</p>
<p>and </p>
<h2>MPA, Columbia SIPA</h2>
<p>Now I know that I have a pretty clean shot at the MA from Columbia but the MPA is a bit less certain considering my lack of real work experience. But there’s still a chance. Fels is more certain than SIPA but less certain than the regular MA from Columbia. </p>
<p>So, in this case it would be better to rank the programs by which would benefit me the most.</p>
<p>Anyways, please help.</p>
