International/Comparative Education MA Programs: Stanford, Harvard, Columbia

[MDC]

I was shocked to receive offers from Stanford's ICE program, Harvard's IEP program and Columbia's IED program, but now I'm having a hard time choosing between the three offers.  I haven’t received financial packages from all the schools yet, so for now I'm just comparing the programs themselves. 

 

• Are there any prospective/current/previous students out there who can offer pros & cons on these schools?

 

• Is anyone familiar with what each of the schools is strongest at/weakest at?

 

• Does anyone know the perceived value of an MA (Columbia/Stanford) vs a Ed.M (Harvard) in the job market?

 

Thanks!
