Thank you, all!!! This is all extremely helpful. I hope to reach my decision soon (after all, deadline of the 15th is slowly creeping...).

I've been accepted to the above institutions, the IFA, Tufts and UMass Amherst all for a Master's. My area(s) of interest are Early Italian Renaissance and the History of Collecting, and I am intent on pursuing my PhD following completion of MA. I've been given full funding at UMass and Tufts plus the opportunity to TA/RA, but no assistance at the IFA. Any thoughts or words of advice?? While I feel the offers at Tufts and UMass are difficult to pass up, the prestige and opportunities at NYU go without saying. While I know I could complete my MA elsewhere and reapply for PhD at the IFA, there's always the big what-if I don't get in?
