My name is Mike and I work as an intern for a major consulting firm in
Washington,DC.

My company uses SPSS, as most undergraduate programs and companies, however,
now that I'm beginning the thinking process for graduate school, most
schools, in particular Northwestern, UChicago, and Yale, all recommend I
become familiar with Stata and R.

Are there any major differences between the three programs?

If so, what? and what resources are out there to help me adjust?
