Shellyeah - I see that you were also accepted the Hunter? I'm currently trying to decide between NYU and Hunter and was curious if you were considering Hunter? and if not, why? Hunter is really attractive to me economically speaking but that seems to be the only reason that people are telling me to go there over NYU. I got some money to NYU but it would still be more expensive than Hunter's program. If anyone has any thoughts or insight on the two programs i would greatly appreciate it!

I hope its ok to join the conversation. Congrats on your acceptances. Unfortunately, I can't answer your questions but am in a similar situation (sans Columbia) - I was recently admitted to Hunter and NYU (I got some money from NYU but Hunter is still more attractive economically speaking). I'm in the process of trying to determine which program is a better fit for me - I am more interested in clinical work than policy work. Most people I've spoken to tell me to go to Hunter but i think they are basing that opinion solely on economics and so I'm curious about the strengths and weaknesses of each program. If anyone has any insight, I join in the request for opinions and/or experiences. Thanks!!
