Hello everyone. I've been giving this a lot of thought but I still cannot make up my mind. Hopkins gave me $18k/yr and I still have not heard from American (which worries me since others have received funding emails). My problem lies in that I always wanted to live/work in DC since I'm interested in public policy. Early in the application process my top choice was AU but after hearing from JHU I'm no longer sure. JHU is a world renown university while the AU name does not always bode well on a resume.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
