  1. Hey all, I am currently deciding between programs for the fall and I am leaning towards Duke University or University of Colorado Denver. I was wondering what you guys think of these two programs. I am currently going for my Masters, but I might stay for a PhD (undecided at this point). I have had really great experiences at both of them and they will both cost around the same. I know Duke is a more prestigious university, but I am not sure how much that truly matters. I would love to hear all of your thoughts. Thanks so much!!

  3. Hey all! I'm looking for advice on where to apply, and an idea of where I'd get into for Fall 2020. I’m looking for schools that also have a PhD program in case I decide to keep going after Master's. I know my grades are not the highest and my GRE isn’t the best either, but I’m hoping I still have a chance. Thanks for your help!
