Hey guys so a shortage of funds really killed my "apply everywhere" mentality so I am just applying to my number one school. I will be applying to the University of Michigan in hope of doing a dual program, but I have been advised to apply to three programs, which are:
1. Master's in Urban/Regional Planning (This is the one I am doing for sure)
2. Master's in Health Services Administration (Great practical finance but I want more policy)
3.Master's in Public Policy ( Great policy school, but I want more practical finance)
Basically what I am goin to do is if admitted into all three I am doing urban planning for sure (they flew me up for a recruitment weekend about 3 weeks back), and I will declare my dual-master's in whomever between the MPP and MHSA offers the most money, and then just take my cognate/elective courses in the program that finishes third. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!! Hate to put all of my eggs in one basket but I am confident! Pray for me, I will be doing likewise
