ClassicConundrum

I've been accepted to both programs, and have two weeks to decide. I'm looking for any advice on choosing, whether it be specific to the schools or anything general! I don't care much for ranking, just looking to get the best experience out of the programs. Johns Hopkins' acceptance rate is ~90%, should I be concerned by this? BC's is ~50%. Both are one year programs as well. Johns Hopkins appears to be much cheaper, but is giving me second thoughts because I would be taking all of my classes on a campus that is essentially an office building. Should I be skeptical of this? The programs are really similar in terms of coursework. Thanks in advance! http://education.jhu.edu/Academics/masters/MAT/index.html JOHNS HOPKINS http://www.bc.edu/schools/lsoe/academics/departments/teseci/graduate/medseced.html BOSTON COLLEGE

Thanks for the advice!

Correct, I plan to become a secondary ed teacher. The US News ranking legit, but just not when it comes to my desired profession?

I recently got accepted to the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education, University of Maryland's program, and Boston College's Lynch School of Education. I have an interview with Johns Hopkins this week. For secondary ed, UVA and Maryland are both ranked highly for secondary ed, but Johns Hopkins is ranked as the #2 school of education in the country. The programs are pretty much the same in terms of coursework and internships, they're all one year teaching programs. How much does ranking matter? Johns Hopkins has the best name, but should I be concerned of a lack of secondary ed ranking? Thanks in advance!
