  1. Hi all. I got admitted to a few programs for a masters in Analytics and wanted advice on the program that those working in industry or going through recruitment would recommend the most. Background: 3 years out of undergrad at Duke, studied Mechanical Engineering. Only basic Java and Matlab experience, hired for Deloitte's Technology Consulting role. Working on SAP financial implementations for 3 years. Learnt a ton of SQL along the way, took online courses on Statistics and R and basic Python. Programs to choose from - assume similar cost of attendance for all programs (after my scholarships, the costs are the same for me): Northwestern MSiA (Master of Science in Analytics) Georgia Tech On-Campus Masters of Analytics Emory University Master of Science in Business Analytics UCLA Master of Science in Business Analytics Goal: Post-graduation I want to work in analytics consulting for a consulting company that deals with a variety of clients, either supporting the main consulting arm (e.g. BCG Gamma) or for a standalone analytics consulting practice (e.g. Slalom). Any advice on what would stand out most to you as a recruiter or a future colleague? I feel with my lack of CS background, I will struggle in the NLP/tech-y side of things at the program options 1 and 2, but feel the programs at the business schools will be a better fit (3 and 4). However, if NW or GT are reputable enough within industry that I could find jobs more easily as someone more technically rounded out, I have no problem pushing myself and learning more. Any advice is greatly appreciated and also to anyone applying to grad school programs, happy to share details of my application process over DM
