<p>Now my choices are between:
2 year M.A. in International Affairs @ GWU w. 3/4 tuition waiver v.s.
1 year M.A. in International Relations @ U Chicago w. 1/3 tuition
What do you suggest?</p>
<p>About me:
I am a Chinese undergraduate who has all my education up to now in China. Will receive B.A. degree in English this year. No previous working experience. And financing is a big concern for me.</p>
<p>I plan to work for 1-2 years after the M.A.'s degree and then pursue a J.D.'s degree (have not done my LSAT yet).My final career goal would be in an international organization. But I heard that it is particularly difficult for international student majoring in IR to find a job or a decent intern, esp. when you lack substantial econ. training.
BTW, I have also been admitted to SAIS, but no financial aid at all. I knew that most Chinese IR graduates even those from SAIS have much worse career prospects than what the American graduates suppose to get with a SAIS’s degree. </p>
<p>Cuz not many people around know about these things, I need your advice. Thanks a lot!</p>
