I'm also deciding between Vanderbilt, Penn & GW! Still waiting on financial aid but which way are people leaning besides the financial aid aspect?? & why??

Altho I'm still waiting on decisions from some other schools, I am pretty sure my decision will come down to GSE & Peabody. I am in the MPP Education Policy program and am trying to figure out which school will be best for me. Is anyone in a similar situation? So far this is what I have: Upenn - One year program (much cheaper & i'm receiving some financial aid) - smaller program - Philly is great & close to my family and friends - Interesting courses and sociological research based - GSE has been very helpful and has sense of community especially thru the admissions process Vanderbilt - 2 years - More specific to my future career goals - Capstone Experience - way more expensive (haven't heard about financial aid yet) - JD program - Difficult to connect with current Peabody students; have not really reached out I have also been admitted to GW but haven't really considered it since there is no specific education policy track... am I wrong? These are just some of the things on my mind currently. I was hoping someone who might be in the same boat can shed some light on this very difficult decision! Thanks!!
