<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I am from Chicago and I am fortunate enough to have two great schools offering MS in Analytics programs near by. I applied to both Northwesterns and UChicagos programs and got into both. Both programs are about a year long. More if you need it. Both around 40k. I have an MBA, so i had the quant background they were looking for. I decided to go with UChicago since it is the better ranked school overall. I would recommend you look at these options.</p>
