Date: March 25th, 2009 12:06 PM Author: chocolate narrow-minded market Subject: Fletcher or UCSD-IR/PS? So I've been admitted to both Fletcher and IR/PS...Fletcher is giving me 16k/year and IR/PS is giving me 12.5k/year...Am I crazy to even be considering IR/PS?
The main reason for concern is that my regional focus is Japan and East Asia so obviously IR/PS is strong in that area while Fletcher seems less focused on East Asia. Also, if I were to get CA residency, IR/PS would end up being about 20k cheaper overall I think.
I'm leaning towards Fletcher given the decent money offer and the superior IR program/reputation...
Any input? |

Date: March 27th, 2009 1:48 PM Author: razzle address Subject: Question Hi, I am also interested in applying to IR/PS for 2010 and I have a question. How stringent is IR/PS in terms of language proficiency? Did you go to Japan to study? I am a Japanese american and I never formally studied Japanese in college but I speak and read the newspaper fluently. Do you think this is adequate? Also, what type of employers are you looking at after graduation? private sector? government? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=960120&forum_id=3#11262367) |

Date: March 30th, 2009 6:38 AM Author: chocolate narrow-minded market haha well I'm like already 70k in debt so that is quite a concern. but I don't think I can actually get residency, so the cost difference will be negligible I think (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=960120&forum_id=3#11284728) |

What career track are you interested in at IR/PS? |

Date: April 7th, 2009 7:47 PM Author: nighttime state why wouldn't you be able to get residency? Unless you are not an American citizen, it shouldn't be a problem. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=960120&forum_id=3#11361509) |
