  1. interesting, in what why? because its viewed as a wasted two years? thanks for the reply!
  2. Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): Harris MPP, Georgetown MPP, Georgetown MS-DSPP, SIPA MPA Schools Applied To: UChicago Harris, Georgetown, Columbia Schools Admitted To: Harris MPP, Georgetown MPP, Georgetown MS-DSPP Schools Rejected From: Still Waiting: SIPA MPA Undergraduate Institution: UCLA Undergraduate GPA: 3.7 Undergraduate Major: Econ GRE Quantitative/Verbal/AW Scores: 162/169/4 (lol at 4) Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 2 Years of Work Experience: 2 full time Describe Relevant Work Experience: public accounting Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): strong but all professional Other: Hi All, Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but I've been admitted to the Harris MPP and Georgetown MS-DSPP programs and I was hoping to get some feedback from the community as to pros/cons of each. Career-wise, I hope to work in economic policy either within the public or non profit sector. A few examples of organizations I would be interested in working at include the federal reserve system, the congressional budget office, the urban institute, center on budget and policy priorities, and others like these. My thoughts re the two programs: UChicago's "name brand" is stronger than Georgetown's, even if incrementally. I think UChicago generally and Harris specifically are also thought to be quantitively quite strong. Georgetown's MS-DSPP curriculum is certainly more quantitative since it has a specific data science bent. Georgetown's location is better for the organizations I hope to work for So I guess the question is whether the incremental name value premium of Chicago outweighs the better curriculum of Georgetown's program. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
