I’ve already happily committed to Heller but it’s interesting to hear your thoughts. They do have career stats on their website with % employed after graduating and breakdown based on sector/location if that's what you meant. I would agree re: quant emphasis, but thankfully there is lots of room for electives and they’ve got a good amount of quant courses even some on big data/modeling. Like any degree it seems like it’s what you make of it that matters! Also the cost of living in Waltham, MA is not comparable to NYC ?

I'm curious why you say that. Why do you not think highly of it?

Program Applied To (MPA, MPP, IR, etc.): MPP (also some quant heavy MPH programs) Schools Applied To: Heller, Northeastern, Harris, USC, UCSD, American Schools Admitted To: Heller (with scholarship), Northeastern (with scholarship), American (just loans) Schools Rejected From: Still Waiting: UChicago, USC, UCSD Undergraduate Institution: Top 50 Undergraduate GPA: 3.95 Undergraduate Major: Psychology GRE Quantitative/Verbal/AW Scores: Didn’t take, background in statistics Years Out of Undergrad (if applicable): 1 Years of Work Experience: 2 Describe Relevant Work Experience: clinical/healthcare research, publications and posters Strength of SOP (be honest, describe the process, etc): I think it was strong. I was able to relate my experiences in clinical research to why I wanted to work in health policy. I had 2 friends help edit it. Strength of LOR's (be honest, describe the process, etc): 2 lab supervisors- very strong, 1 lab supervisor/professor- less strong Other: I applied early April so very late in the game. I’m not too optimistic about hearing from Harris, USC, & UCSD but who knows!
