I think I will be attending CMU in the fall-- the DC track. It was a hard decision between Duke and Carnegie Mellon but I think it comes down to the curriculum and the possible career opportunities from the DC program.

I am trying to decide between a MPP from Duke and a MSPPM from Carnegie Mellon. The program at Carnegie Mellon will provide the opportunity to work in DC the second year. Funding is about the same for both... I hope to work in federal consulting or non-profit consulting and may even try to apply to the dual MBA program during my first year. I wanted to get opinions on both schools....

I am in almost the same boat- with Duke,CMU, and U Maryland? Which are you leaning towards? Were you accepted into the Heinz DC track?

Called and was waitlisted at Georgetown... accepted to Duke and Carnegie Mellon w/ funding.
