Hey all, newbie here. Grats so far to those who have already gotten acceptance letters! Like many of you, I've been checking results at an unhealthy rate... So far, I've applied to:
Vanderbilt, Peabody: Accepted (no information on funding or assistantships yet)
Michigan State University: Reeejected
University of Texas - Austin: Accepted
University of Pittsburgh: Awaiting decision
Seattle University: Awaiting decision
At this point, I'm leaning heavily toward Vandy. However, the uncertainty regarding funding makes me nervous. Does anyone have information on the approximate number of students who get assistantships and/or scholarships at Peabody? Also, how important do you think a college's reputation/name is in the field of student affairs? Just trying to weigh how much more I'd be willing to pay to attend Vandy, as Texas also looks appealing, especially if I can secure an assistantship with in-state tuition.
Anyway, best of luck of everyone!
