So, for a while I didn't think I would have a choice between schools, but now I do... I've been accepted to Syracuse University and Eastern Michigan.
I was able to go to the open house for Syracuse and they have really great facilities, however, in the end it is pricier than Eastern Michigan. I've read that both programs are a bit disorganized and I've had difficulties navigating around Eastern Michigan's website for more information. The campus for Syracuse was nice (at least the main campus), but most of the time I would be at South campus, which wasn't as nice. I've looked at the virtual tour for Eastern Michigan and it seems really nice in comparison.
Looking past these superficial aspects, does anyone know of anyone in these programs and could let me know of any pros/cons?
I really wish I had known this before. It was very difficult getting that first rejection - I just didn't know what to think. Everyone has such great and diverse experience and so many people deserve to be accepted. I hope all of you waiting get off the waitlists and do no get discouraged if you get a rejection. Don't give up
