interested in public sector work -- federal govt, white house. my inclination is that it doesn't really *matter* since both are excellent and the decision would come down to personal preference.

Re: Penn or NYU?
all else equal, i'd go NYU
but if you have a strong preference for either city, i'd go that route. penn likely has better lay prestige if that means anything to you lol

Re: Penn or NYU?
Lol, just made this decision.
My thoughts are for PI for a liberal org go NYU.
For a conservative org do Penn and get the cert in Buisness and Public Policy from Wharton.
For any legal position where the people doing the hiring and/or most of the people you will be working with are not going to be lawyers, go Penn (for the lay prestige).
Either way, shouldn’t much matter, I personally liked Penn better, so I chose that. Since then, I’ve definitely made tons of great connections just by dropping the school name. Thinking of either working for a firm in my 2ndary market or for the litigation arm of a local policy think-tank.
