<p>I’m an graduate student in Interntiona Relations… recently accepted.</p>
<p>Wondering if anyone knew about the program and how it compares to others. (I already know its not comparable to Tufts, Columbia, JHU) … what about other programs, just below those top-tier ones? I often see Syracuse listed on the same list as these top-tier ones, but generally viewed as worse.</p>
<p>My other option is Seton Hall. I’m leaning heavily towards Syracuse.</p>
<hr>
<p>Also, if there are any other graduate students at Syracuse, who are looking for a roomate, post back here. We can then private-message/email bio info and all that (i’m male, 22, for starters).</p>
<p>Been lurking for a while, reading the IR posts and see that you’re considering or have accepted at Syracuse. Keep us informed about how you like it. </p>
<p>I read a lot of the info on their website, and liked the overseas opportunities that they offer, particularly the summer internship in Geneva. Great opp for some int’l work experience.</p>
<p>I’ve been accepted at SAIS and am currently debating whether to do that or take the combined IR/MPA route at Maxwell (which is way less expensive). Of course, if I want the best of both worlds I could do the joint SAIS/Maxwell IR/MPA which would be killer.</p>
<p>Based on what the other IR guys have said, I feel kind of intimidated by the SAIS students, who all seem to have super-elitist backgrounds. I just have an average public school education in engineering with a modest GPA (3.25). Fortunately, I have 11 years of public administration background, but still, I don’t have int’l work experience, or an IR/Poli Sci undergrad, or fluency in a foreign language. I’m starting to think that SAIS accepted me by accident…hahah…I did kick arse on the GRE though (720/750/5.5).</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m rambling. Good luck with Syracuse and keep us posted.</p>
