I have posted this question before but I may have posted it in the wrong place and didn't get too many responses (not the grad school forum?) so I'm trying once again.
I'm currently awaiting decisions from Columbia, Yale and BC for their combined RN/MSN programs. I applied to the psych specialty and have a Yale interview coming up this month. I live in NYC so Columbia is very convenient in terms of location -- but Yale is of course an amazing school and the opportunity to go there would be wonderful. But I can't seem to find much information on how the programs compare -- I mean, there is always the US News & World Report that ranks the schools... but I don't really know what that includes and what exactly is being rated -- and there's not much on the particular specialties. What is the difference between these programs, which one's better, and by how much? What have people's experiences been like in these programs? Does it make that big of a difference where you go when choosing between two well-renowned schools such as Columbia and Yale?
