Well, they're all great institutions, so at least there's that. If Emory and Hopkins are tied via price, then I suppose the question is which program would you enjoy more? Where would you enjoy living more? 20 years from now, where will you look back at more fondly? I've found that certain institutions instill a comradely that others don't. I have a teammate that went to Notre Dame. It's INSANE how much they support one another. These things matter. Maybe they shouldn't, but they do.

Re the expense of the education, perhaps future administrations will forgive such loans, or at least make them less predatory?
