Confusion between two MS programs

[thedarkduck]

Hi everyone,

I'm confused between two programs - 

1. MS in Data Science at NYU CDS (No aid, $80k tuition for 2 years)

2. MS in Computational Analysis and Public Policy at the University of Chicago. ($40k aid, $60k tuition for 2 years)

As an international student with background in data science in the tech industry, I'm keen on working as a data scientist in social impact firms. Understandably such jobs are rare in the US and I'm concerned about the financial aspects of repaying the loan. The NYU degree will help me land a well-paying job after graduation using which I can pay off my loans. However, policy is a field on interest to me and I would like to study the same at Harris.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
