I am greatful I am accepted into the CRNA programs at both schools. From talking with some CRNA's at my hospital, I was told that Pitt has a better reputation for CRNA School. They pointed out that that there are certain faults with the Georgetown's program, such as competition for cases. One of these CRNAs, who is a Georgetown CRNA grad even, stated "Georgetown is not worth the cost of the education and experience I had." She said that when she started her first job she wasn't up to par with the level of knowledge and experience of other new grads.
I really don't want to base this very important decision on the views of a limited and possibly biased group of people. That's why I looking for more opinions.

Tell me what kind of environment and specific aspects are important to you in a program, and I may be able to assist more. But, if it were me it would be a no brainer.
Georgetown or Pittsburgh
