Columbia MS&E vs JHU M. in Engineering Management vs Dartmouth M. in Engineering Management

[engineer16]

I have received admits from Columbia MS&E program, Johns Hopkins University MEM and Dartmouth MEM. So far I think:

Columbia :

 + has  great prestige, great location 

 - quant heavy, class size  >90,  which makes it a bit more impersonal than the other two

 

Johns Hopkins:

+ much cheaper than the other two, small size which helps creating strong bonds with faculty, co-students

- not as prestigious as an Ivy, courses are not so exciting

 

Dartmouth:

+ great curriculum, great networking, small size

- location, very expensive

 

Can anyone help me with this one. I am so troubled.

If expenses are not a issue then go for Columbia - larger alumni network, better rep and ROI.

If not, John Hopkins is a good option. There's isn't much difference between Dartmouth and Hopkins. It all depends on how you perform.
