Hey everyone,
So I'm in a similar boat to some other people here on this forum, but I'm deciding now between Emerson, MGH and BU, although my decision has been made a bit easier as of late. I recently received a fellowship from Emerson, which I assume may even be thanks to Kozo (thanks!) and I have got nothing from BU or MGH. When I was applying I was sure I wanted to go to either MGH or BU b/c I loved the sound of their programs and the facilities on campus. I was stunned as I was walking around and knew I wanted to be at one of those places. However, now that it's decision time, it seems like all 3 programs offer fantastic studies and that I would be fine coming from any of them. I don't know for certain what aspect of speech pathology I want to work in, but I think I may want to work with children, so that is a plus for Emerson, I don't think I necessarily want to do research at the graduate level and it seems like BU and MGH push that a bit more, and Emerson is $40,000 cheaper than the next cheapest, MGH. I'm pretty sure I know that Emerson is the way, so what I'm wondering is if anyone can just make me feel like it's 100% correct. Are the programs all really equally great for graduates coming from them? Would I be able to get a job anywhere in the country coming from a less well-known program like Emerson's? I sort of just need to hear that everything is going to be ok coming from Emerson's program even though it wasn't my top choice.
