Heinz MSPPM-DA vs McCourt MS-DSPP

[cyeager]

I was wondering if anyone had any input about deciding between Georgetown and Carnegie Mellon's data science/public policy programs. I've gotten into both and am having a hard time deciding between the two - it seems like the Heinz program is more intense which could be either a positive or negative - I know I want to best prepare myself for a career but also want to be able to have time for a job/social life. I've seen that McCourt is a little lower ranked than Heinz but has the benefit of being in D.C., which appeals to me. Does anyone have any thoughts?
