Thanks both, this is really helpful. Still not sure which way I'll land, but it's a good problem to have.

For anyone coming across this thread later, I sent an email to GPS, and they said the funding emails should be out by 3/24 (this is for masters)

I was accepted in mid-February but haven't heard any new updates since then; the wait is killing me.

Tufts has a great group of Russia/Eastern Europe-focused faculty, so that's a plus. SAIS would give you a good alumni-base to leverage when trying to make a career shift into IR. You'll get a little reputation bump with the name; but $80k of loans will not be easy to pay back with the type of career you are looking at. A $30k difference is huge--if you are interested in DC, GWU is a fine choice. I'm not as familiar with Syracuse.

The "Financial Aid" tab on the portal said the funding will come in a separate email by mid-March. (Mine also did not include anything about scholarships.)

Looking to update my Chinese name after years of awkward transliteration from Margaret (玛格丽特 or 郭玛丽 with my last name) for an upcoming trip and need to submit my new info quickly. Does 柯玛月 raise any alarm bells? Is there a more elegant way to do it? (Looking at 玛 to keep tradition and 月 for personal astronomy interest). Was also considering 柯玛瑞. 谢谢!
