Decision making!

[CS_SLP]

How are everyone's decisions turning out? 

I was accepted to all 4 programs I applied to! I'm having trouble making a decision. If anyone knows any pros/cons to the following schools, please let me know!

• UConn
• University of Rhode Island
• Sacred Heart
• Southern CT State

I don't know anything about those schools in particular but here's what's on my pro/con list so far:

• Cost (including rent, moving costs, etc)
• Location
• Clinical education model
• Clinical placements
• Externships available
• Assistance finding CFY / jobs
• Opportunities for specialization
• Ability to start clinical work immediately
• Praxis pass rates
• On-time graduation rate
• Post-graduation employment rates
• Perceived organization of the program (do they seem organized/disorganized?)
• Research opportunities
• Cohort size

 

What other factors are people considering?

I don't know of those schools either, but how I narrowed it down was:

• Cost
• Cohort Size
• GA Positions offered
• If the university has an on campus clinic
• What sort of clinical placements are offered
• How is clinical education run
• Average amount of classes per term
• Research opportunities
• Location

It helped me to make an excel sheet of every school I applied too listening all the things I was looking for.
