While you guys are in the mood of helping ppl lol... Im still stuck between Georgetown and University of Maryland for the MHA. Both programs are small so I'd get attention. However, GTown is ~50K a year while me being in state at UMD would result at about ~15K per year. A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Obviously GTown has the name and is ranked, but its not high enough for me to really justify paying that much. UMD is ranked in public health overall but not for the MHA, however, its still a really great state research school. The faculty at both have areas of interest that align with my goals and Im sure I could get the experience I want at each institution. But Georgetown just has that prestige that is so hard for me to ignore, not to mention the connection to 7+ hospitals in the DC area. Locations are different, but I could easily get into the city from UMD in about 20 minutes or less. After I graduate, I plan on doing some work in consulting, I'd be open to a C suite (management) position later on but I'm really concerned with health disparities/quality improvement efforts. Also considering potentially going back for a doctorate later on. UMD has the exact type of doctoral program I would apply for while Georgetown doesn't. In all honesty, I didnt think GTown would accept me and had planned on attending UMD but now that they did accept me Im having a hard time saying no. A little back story I was waitlisted for GTown applying to undergrad and later accepted, but I had already committed to attending Temple and wanted a change of scenery (from DC metro area) so I was like screw it.. Looking back on it Im kind of regretting not attending Georgetown, but also super stoked to be graduating undergrad with 0 debt in part to my partial scholarship and my cash cow dad lmao.
