I'd like to do health care policy analysis work, so I applied to public health programs with strong policy departments and public policy programs with strong health policy tracks (see list below). Anyone have any input on my options? MPP vs. MSPH/MHS?

PUBLIC HEALTH

-Johns Hopkins - MHS in Health Policy

(IN - No word on aid)

-UNC - MSPH in Health Policy & Management

(Interviewed, no decision yet)

-Columbia - MPH with Health Policy Track

(Nothing yet)

-Emory - MSPH in Health Policy & Services Research

(IN - No word on aid)

PUBLIC POLICY

-Carnegie Mellon - MS in Health Care Policy & Management

(IN - $12k / semester scholarship)

-Georgetown - MPP, health policy track

(IN - scholarship consideration)

-NYU - MPA in Health Policy & Management

(Nothing yet)

-Duke - MPP, health policy track

(Nothing yet)

I'm leaning toward Hopkins, because it's so well known in public health circles and the program involves a significant working component that would give me much needed work experience. But the money from CMU is hard to resist, as well. Any thoughts?
