Penn GSE or Columbia's TC

Which would you rank higher?

Penn GSE is ranked higher based on the US News and World Report but it also depends on what you want to do with your degree. That could completely change how others value the weight of the name behind either program.

I could go in two directions

1. Phd in Political Theory (I know this is completely different but this is what I wished to from start but couldn't for several reasons)

2. Go into UN (Penn IEDP has a compulsory internship option)

I am wondering if it would be a mistake turning Columbia down for Penn. What do you think?
