UChicago is a very good school and you could probably learn some very useful quantitative skills studying political science there, but a 9 month, unfunded program doesn't sound that great of an opportunity, unfortunately.

It's something to consider. 25k is a lot of money on it's own, and combined with the 80k, it's a shitload of money, but re-reading the OP, it doesn't sound like your current options are all that much better.

I think regardless of whether you go, you need to develop a plan for your career, and that might involve moving into fields you haven't previously considered.
