thanks for the words of encouragement! there are so many pros and cons it's sometimes tough to figure out the best route.

I'm at the decision-making portion of the evening now: GWU (no money) and UM Ford School (25K/yr) Harris School (no money) In some ways this seems like a no brainer (Ford), but I wonder if the advantages of living in DC outweigh the money offered by the Ford School. Any thoughts or recommendations? Also, I applied to Carnegie Mellon's Heinz School (which I haven't heard from) and they seem to be well-respected, but I haven't read ANYTHING about them on this site. Did anybody else apply there? Thanks!
