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!
