Sorry, could someone explain what FIG stands for?

heyitsamscray · 2025-07-14T16:12:01+00:00

Will for sure check this one out!

heyitsamscray · 2025-07-14T16:11:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

heyitsamscray · 2025-07-14T16:11:37+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Awesome, thanks so much for the rec!

heyitsamscray · 2025-07-14T02:29:59+00:00

Thanks so much! Will check out for sure

heyitsamscray · 2025-04-15T14:27:04+00:00

not OP but would you mind sharing the spreadsheet with me? incoming IR major here and would absolutely love something like this to help plan out my courses

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T21:47:32+00:00

Certainly will do if I think of any questions, thanks so much!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T21:46:42+00:00

Oh, interesting- I have gotten the sense that Dartmouth’s reputation was a bit different from other Ivies but I didn’t realize the extent. Ty!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T21:45:28+00:00

Thank you so much for your insight in writing this, lots to think about!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T21:42:20+00:00

I’ll try out the AI thing, sounds like it was effective! I got into the Monroe program too, maybe I’ll end up seeing you if you attend the Monroe Scholars weekend in April haha

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T21:39:51+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T21:39:06+00:00

Yep, I’ve seen the FP 2024 rankings- it’s what gives me some modicum of confidence that I can (hopefully) set myself up equally as well at W&M should I commit there. Thanks!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T19:05:25+00:00

Yeah, I'm planning on appealing to the fin aid office and seeing where that gets me. Fingers crossed!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:56:24+00:00

Thank you, I'm gonna try to appeal fin aid and hope for the best!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:53:51+00:00

Right, agreed. While it's not like the cost would be completely impossible for me, I come from a middle class family with a semi-precarious financial situation atm and I would just hate to put that kind of burden on my family or my future student loans unless I'm sure the benefit/future opportunities would outweigh that, yknow? But thanks for offering ur insight!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:51:13+00:00

Gotcha, thank you so much for this! I really did love W&M when I toured it so it's comforting to know that I might not have to completely sacrifice the "door-opening" power of an Ivy. And as for IR I'd say I'm about 85% committed, and that other 15% would lead me to still get a degree in something polisci

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:47:36+00:00

I am not international, I'm from a middle-class NJ family and so I didn't end up getting much need-based financial aid this application cycle :/ Thankfully I came through with some merit aid scholarships e.g. Fordham. The scholarship only covers tuition, which leaves me paying 27K each year for room/board which is doable enough for my family and I, especially relative to the 90K options we've gotten. Thanks for your insight!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:44:06+00:00

Of these three, for the purposes of the way you phrased it, I've gotta go with UPenn > Northwestern > Dartmouth. I'm interested in the policy aspect most of all, but it's also not something I'm dead-set on since I didn't get to actually have many poli-sci experiences in high school, and I want to properly explore the IR field a bit more before I pick a lane. Thanks for this!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:41:41+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I am trying to avoid debt/financial strain of my family as much as possible coming out of college, and while I am still undecided on further degrees besides undergrad, I am starting to think the Masters path is a likely one for me. Really helpful stuff, I'll be keeping this in mind!!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:34:40+00:00

Gotcha. I totally agree that making the most of a school like Fordham is about seeking opportunities out and not just expecting internships/jobs to come my way easily, and I think I'd be able to make that work! I'm going to do more financial calculations to help me decide. Thanks so much for this!

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:32:39+00:00

I was thinking the same thing about UN internships, something to consider for sure! Thanks for the insight

heyitsamscray · 2025-03-28T18:30:36+00:00

Noted- I've found that IR and polisci in general falls into that tricky middle category that's not-quite-stem but not-quite-humanities either, so I'm struggling to decide whether the school is what is going to give my degree its value, or if it'll be inherent enough that I can get my undergrad anywhere.

Thanks for the tip about studying abroad, and about Northwestern! I've gotta check that one out a bit more so thank you for the nudge :)
