Hey everyone,
Looking for a little advice wherever I can find it! I applied to three programs:
1) NYU Steinhardt - MA in Media, Culture and Communication,
2) UT Austin Moody College of Communication - MA in Advertising, and
3) Boston University College of Communication - MS in Advertising
The great news- got into all three. The not so great news- as an international student, I'll be paying full tuition wherever I end up going. The conundrum- I am completely and utterly torn.
My intention is to secure a job in the advertising field after graduation; in that respect, Boston and NY seem to take the lead. NYU, however, offers a degree in communications which I feel is more general than what I want to do. I haven't been to Austin but heard amazing things, love Boston and NY so that won't be a deciding factor.
Rankings seem very difficult to figure out and I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light or just offer their opinion on which program makes the most sense. Austin may be the cheapest and is the largest department - considering the lack of funding I feel I am mostly stuck between UT and BU, with the April 15th deadline fast approaching.
Sorry about the rant. Anyone out there, any thoughts or opinions? I greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!
