If you want to do Conflict Resolution, the program at Georgetown is VERY good, and there is no better place to study it (or international affairs) than Washington, DC. However, it is NOT the same thing as the MSFS in International Relations in SFS at Georgetown (which is considered the strongest program of its type in the world at the Master’s level). Both GW and NYU have strong international affairs master’s programs, but do not approach Georgetown’s in terms of reputation, graduate placement, and influence. However, you did not apply to Georgetown’s, so if you want international affairs (and not conflict resolution specifically), it seems like you (perhaps erroneously) already made your decision (the reputations of GW and NYU international affairs are comparable).
