tell me everything you know about dietetics programs!

After much post-university flailing about, I've decided to go back and do my MS in dietetics. I am completely obsessed with food-related topics and love working with people, so community nutrition sounds like a beautifully great fit.

However, I am having difficulty distinguishing between programs. I have looked at the ADA site with its list of coordinated programs terminating in a masters, but their list is very short and they do not rank. And with further searching, it seems like almost any university in the States has a dietetics program . . .

What are some great programs for community nutrition? A coordinated program would be totally awesome, but not required.

I'd rather be in a largish East/West coast city (US or Canada), but have also been looking at Midwestern schools. The programs I have been looking at recently include University of Vermont - Burlington, McGill, University of Washington - Seattle, UNC - Chapel Hill, UIC - Chicago, University of Michigan. Any suggestions/reviews/thoughts?

(Other school-related details: I have an honors BA in anthropology from McGill with a 3.6 GPA, and am in the process of taking the undergraduate science prereq courses at the city colleges here in Chicago. Took the GREs once, got around a 1300 if I remember correctly, but would like to take them again to boost the score.)
