I've been accepted to Pitt and GWU's Epi program. I'm going to be starting classes at Pitt in the fall but if I'm not impressed with their program I may transfer to GWU.

So I'm stuck between what program to apply to for Pitt. I really liked their MIC Infectious disease and Microbiology but at the same time could see myself in their Epi program. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about the programs. I've talked to faculty about both but I'm still really stuck. Also I didn't do great on the GRE quant in the 48th percentile and verbal in the 74th. GWU Epi is also at the top of my list. thanks!

Right now I am a junior Biology major and I recently decided to pursue public health programs (I was pre optometry). But I realized that I am able to graduate a semester early by Dec 2015. I also discovered that GWU admits students to their MPH programs in the Spring semester. So my options are to graduate early and apply to GWU's program and get a head start or wait until I finish out my senior year and apply to a variety of other schools. I'm not sure what is in my best interest in order to finish out my schooling, and be competitive for jobs... the main schools I'm interested in even if I stay my last semester in undergrad are Johns Hopkins and George Washington.... any advice would be greatly appreciated
