Can anyone give me insight as far as how big of a deal name recognition is in this field?
I'm very split between an MPH from UMN an MSPH from Johns Hopkins.
I'm from Minneapolis and currently living there, and before I was applying to schools I visited UMN several times to meet with SPH faculty and find out more about the program and how to be a competitive applicant and they were incredibly willing to speak with me and very supportive. I have been granted a small scholarship and a research assistant position that make UMN very affordable.
But Johns Hopkins has such a great name and good network with organizations I would potentially like to work for.
I just worry that going to UMN will limit my job prospects to the area which wouldn't be the end of the world but I would also like to have options...
If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated!!
