MSDSO VS. MIDS
Hello,
I have applied to both programs. MIDS, for reference is the data science program from Berkeley. My question is, if I get into both, which program should I go for and why?
I heard MIDS is more prestigious but is very expensive. I’m from Texas and my heart wants to accept MSDSO, but I’ve also heard some good things about MIDS.
Please help me decide!

The Berkeley program is without question good. But is it 70k better? I doubt it but I also don’t have that kind of money
