I'm deciding between Princeton WWS and Columbia SIPA (MPA). I'm planning to study domestic policy or international development and go into the non-profit or public sector after graduating. Putting money aside (it is definitely a factor but I want to think about the merits of each school outside of that), what are the pros and cons? Is it a clear choice?

I'm choosing between the MPA programs at Columbia (SIPA), NYU (Wagner), GWU (Trachtenberg), and American (SPA). How would everyone rank these four schools? I've gotten substantial scholarships from all but SIPA, but the Columbia name keeps it in the running...
