I feel like GWU would be best if you're interested in matching in CA since it's more established and more nationally known, but Hofstra has a good match list too. But would the higher price be worth it for you? And would you prefer to live more in a city center versus suburban? Based on the the priorities you listed, it seems like GWU would be a better fit, but also maybe just consider how much things like cost and place of living matter to you. But both the programs are great, so congrats!
