I have no funding for either

I'm interested in going into consulting or working for pharma or biotech companies afterwards!

Any insight is greatly appreciated!!

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I did the Hopkins MPH program and had a great experience. I don't know much about Columbia, but one thing to consider its proximity to the pharma hotbed in NY, NJ, and into PA. If Columbia has relationships with pharma companies, there may be a higher possibility of you making industry connections and potentially getting your foot in the door somewhere for a job once you graduate. Hopkins has great connections and collaborations, but they tend to be more governmental, since it's so close to DC.
