Hks is mid pack in terms of being insufferable. I’d say Fletcher is the worst followed by sipa

Woodywoo is best to work with
Sais
Gtown/gw
Hks
Sipa
Fletcher

From best alums to worst alums

I’m not understanding what this is a list of. It seems like a random selection of policy schools. What ties them together for you?

Princeton School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) used to be called the Woodrow Wilson School/ WWS/ Woody Woo

If you are admitted to a graduate program at Princeton SPIA (two year MPA, mid year MPP, or PhD) SPIA pays your full tuition and required fees, plus gives you a generous living stipend. Their focus is on public service as their programs are small.

What is woodywoo?

And absolutely no one over the age of 30 would care.

I have an MA in IR from one of the "elite" schools. It's not exactly like getting a PhD in astrophysics from MIT. There are maybe three people that have even heard of Fletcher or SAIS outside of academia or State or the multilaterals. And Kennedy has long been known as a certification program.
