Master of Public Policy Decision!

[MarieG.]

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for your input. I could really use it!

I've been accepted to the following schools for the Master of Public Policy. I intend to study education policy.

UVA (with sizable scholarship)

Berkeley (no scholarship)

Columbia (1/4 scholarship)

Duke (about 1/2 scholarship)

UChicago (about 1/4 scholarship, but could change)

Michigan (about 1/3 scholarship, but could change)

Carnegie Mellon (about 3/4 scholarship)

Vanderbilt (very small scholarship)

I was also waitlisted at HKS.

Because of financial concerns, I'm prioritizing UVA, Duke, UChicago, Michigan, and Carnegie Mellon. However, Berkeley's got such a wonderful reputation... What are your thoughts?
