With this all said, I was wondering if anyone can help me get more insight into the schools I was accepted too: Boston University , USC, and UC Irvine's MPH programs. I have a hard time deciding between all three, and have heard a little bit about Boston on the forum already. I was wondering if anyone knew more about the other programs and what to consider when choosing between these schools? Any help would be amazing
