Thanks for your reply and congrats on your acceptance. I know you posted earlier that you were unsure about the program, from everything I have heard U of C has an excellent program - one aspect that I like about their program is they are known to bring in a lot of sessional instructors which provides exposure to learning from people working in the field and with a broad range of experiences. That said, I understand that making the move is a difficult choice and comes with its own challenges.
