So, are you decided to go to Harvard?? After today, I think I turn down TC and will go to Penn! Love Penn so much! How lovely and friendly cohort it is !!!

Haha!! Sounds great!! See you then

Congrats!!! Same program!!

I am !!!

Yes! I think you are definitely right! I will go to admitted student day for UPenn and TC next week, so I think I should ask them about research opportunities. Thank you for your suggestions!

Thank you for your reply! I do want to do research during my master degree, but I've heard there is little opportunity for masters to do research in graduate school. I don't know if it's true, so I was wondering, how can I seek a research in graduate school?

Yes! I think research opportunity is important. UPenn's guaranteed internship is so attractive to me but the tuition is incredible high...It's a really tough question to me!!!

Does anyone know: if I get MS.Ed which is a professional master degree from UPenn, can I apply to a PhD degree afterwards? Or, must I have MA or MS for research master degree?

Thank you for you reply! In terms of quality of education, which school do you think is the best?

Thank you for your sharing! I will take a serious consideration about it. Hope you have a good choice as well!

I definitely agree what you said. I do think I may not have many opportunities at TC. However, I also noticed that IED program at Penn is relatively new, so I'm not sure if the faulty or program runs well. The guaranteed internship is so attractive. One of my professor also recommend me to go to Penn instead of TC. You said many alums at TC had negative experience, could you talk more details about it? I was wondering what were they studying at TC? What kind of negative experience at TC?

Yes, that's true!! NYC is so expensive, but I really love the program at TC rather than Penn...so I don't know how to choose...

Thank you so much!! I'm also applying to IED program at Penn! It's true that TC has so many people...so you decided to go to Penn? I'm still puzzling because I don't know if I can get any research opportunity at TC or Penn...

HELP!!!

Thank you for both of your replies! I do think I should take costs into account. Columbia offers me 9000 dollars scholarships while other two have not mentioned funding yet. The thing I am considering about is the quality of the college. I've heard Columbia sends many offers because of lacking of money, so professors may not care much about students. I don't know if it's true... Does anyone know the quality of the master programs in Columbia?
