I got accepted to all 3 schools and the locations are perfectly fine. Which school do you think would be the best and why?

I would go with GW or Rush. GW in particular if you are interested in global health and global policy.

I got into GW so I'm probably biased. But in all seriousness I would choose it..unless VCU is substantially cheaper.

I am definitely biased toward Chicago, so I would go with Rush. I don't know where you are from, or if you have family/friends in either area, but that would make the biggest difference for me. I think you have to decide if you want to live in Chicago or out East. And, if you decide its between VCU and GW, I would probably go with VCU because of cost (both tuition at GW and the cost of living in DC).

Rush, right smack middle of Chitown.

GWU is too expensive.

VCU seems to have a good program but I can't put an opinion on this because I haven't been.

It's hard to say because all 3 schools are in very different cities. I think curriculum and opportunity wise all 3 are probably equivalent.

Rush and GW are actually really similar in cost:http://www.rushu.rush.edu/catalog/tuitionfinaid/tuitionfees1112.html

I'd personally pick GW for the enhanced international and public health-related opportunities.

Wait, so all this time I thought you were a medical student and you're just an MS0?
