Deciding between Deciding between Georgetown (no $) and Maryland ($40k in Scholarship and Teaching). I plan on pursuing federal consulting and staying in the DC area. I'm married with one kid.
Also, the GI bill will cover a good chunk of my tuition and housing. Just thinking what is best long term.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Both schools are good and have decent networks in the DC area. It'd would be in your best interest financially to take the offer from Maryland, especially since you have a kid. Moreover, the area is expensive. So the less money out of pocket, the better. What are your specific pros and cons of each program? I am applying to both schools, so hopefully I will face the same decision in the spring.

The biggest pro for Georgetown is higher ranking and stronger brand, which will be important if I changed my plan to leave the DC area. If I went to Maryland, I would save money up front; however, in the long run I feel that lifetime earnings will be less.
Both are regional schools, strong in federal consulting, smallish programs ( GT ~280 and Maryland ~90).
Am I over thinking this?
