Hey everyone!
So I applied for several masters in counseling, and so far I've been accepted by University of Florida, Florida International University and was wait-listed by Florida State University. I am really unsure of what I should do. On one hand FIU is appealing because I have family that lives in Miami, and I know the area well. On the other hand I know UF is considered a more prestigious school and is well known, but the drawbacks for me is that their program is longer than most because it requires more credits (2 1/2 - 3 years). I am not sure if the extra year and extra tuition money are worth it. I am still waiting to hear from FSU. I am having a hard time making this decision, if anyone could give me some advice or input on the matter and their opinion on the school or program (if you are familiar with it) it would be greatly appreciated!
One last thing. My acceptance letter did not mention funding. Could someone help me word an email where I thank them for the acceptance letter and ask about funding without accepting the offer? Thanks!
