Even after attending info sessions and hearing representatives/students about their different MPH programs, I'm still struggling to narrow down a list of schools to apply to. I don't want to eliminate a program because it's in a part of the country I don't really want to live in, and then find out they have an amazing program in the concentration that I'm interested in.
I'm wondering whether people could share their thoughts on the reputation(s) of different MPH programs. For instance, I've heard things like University of Washington is strong in their global health concentration, and Columbia's sociomedical sciences program is very large and impersonal. What other "impressions" do people have of different MPH programs in terms of concentrations, graduation and job rates, location, etc.? What are certain schools/programs best known for, or not known for? I realize this may be subjective to an extent but I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts.
