I am also very interested in the relative strengths/weaknesses. I applied to the dual MPP/MBA programs at both Michigan and Chicago. So far, the biggest differences I've seen are the focuses of the two business schools (Michigan - general management, Chicago - more finance) and that Michigan seems to have stronger dual degree programs overall. However, I'm not as clear on the big differentiators between the policy programs. And, the admitted student weekends are both the same so we'll need to pick which one to go to soon. Any thoughts?

Did anyone receive funding from Ford? I was offered full tuition plus a stipend from Chicago, but got the same e-mail from Ford last night..."small number of fellowships available, nothing to offer at this time", etc. etc. I am, to be honest, really surprised that Chicago is offering full tuition and I got nothing from Ford. Has anyone experienced something similar? I'm originally from Michigan and was leaning heavily toward Ford, but full-tuition vs. free doesn't seem to make any sense...
