Northwestern vs Columbia

[harshharsh]

Hey guys,

I have applied to Northwestern and Columbia for the masters in Biotechnology starting Fall'16. I have got into NWU  and the results for Columbia are yet to come (in the first week of May). 

Any suggestions on the pros and cons of both the programs?

Also , both seem to be quite expensive, is it worth taking a risk hoping that I will land a job after graduation ?

Thanks
