Vanderbilt vs. Memphis vs. Maryland SLP

[waldocat]

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance if this is the incorrect place to post questions about school decisions, or if these types of posts are annoying in general. I am trying to decide between attending Vanderbilt, U. Memphis, or U. Maryland. I am pretty sure I want to work with stroke/TBI patients who have aphasia/dysphagia, so I think of myself as more interested in the "medical side" of SLP. I have been offered much more funding to Memphis and Maryland than to Vanderbilt, but it seems like Vanderbilt is one of the best for medically focused SLP training. Any advice? I would very much prefer not taking out loans, which I would have to do (to some extent) for Vanderbilt. Thanks for reading and for any insight.

Hi Waldocat - I sent you a pm

Hi, I'm just curious what kind of funding you received from University of Maryland. I'm thinking about going there but when I got my acceptance over a month ago they said they would let me know about funding when they have their 2012-2013 budget figured out and I still haven't heard anything. Thanks!
