    Choosing a school

    I'm in the process of choosing which school to go to for my DPT.  I know there are a thousand factors but in general, after graduation, does it make a difference?  Do employers look at the school you went to or more so your grades at that school?  I live in NY so I'm choosing in between Columbia and Hunter.  Hunter is really inexpensive - and Columbia is the opposite.  Columbia has a reputation - but mostly for business and other degrees.  So far as I've heard Hunter has a good rep too.  Would I get a better salary in the long run if I go to Columbia?  I've heard that they prepare their students immaculately but is it true?  The program at Columbia looks really well organized and makes sense whereas the program at Hunter is a little more scattered.  Advice anyone?
