I'm in at UC-Denver as well as UNCG ($), while still waiting to hear back from Northeastern. After getting my MA I'd like to work in the public or private sector in labor, health economics or consulting (i.e. - Dept of Labor, Abt Associates or RTI to name a few). Is there a discernible difference between these 3 schools? UC-Denver seems to place marginally better than UNCG and Northeastern, while Northeastern may have a slight brand advantage. However, UNCG seems to be the most generous when it comes to funding. I'm leaning heavily towards UNCG, but wanted to get some other opinions before making my final decision.
