Which school would be a better choice?

[Neuropsychologist]

Hi all,

I'm confused as to which school should be one to opt for?

I have short listed four schools, so please let me know which one would be a better choice! Please do review it as a school offering a PhD program in Neurosciences.

So here are the schools:

1) Georgia Health Sciences University, Augusta, Georgia

2) University of Montana, Missoula,Montana.

3) University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Memphis, Tennessee

4) Marquette University, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Any inputs, opinions are welcome.

Congrats on the acceptances!

I'm not sure about the comparative strength of the overall programs, but which school has the most labs you are interested in working in? From a location standpoint I would go with #4, but I'm probably biased.

I don't think there is one that completely stands out as "the better choice", but there probably is one that is a better fit for you personally. Try to think of what factors are most important to you, and rank them based on that.

@MEB05: I haven't got accepted into all of the above mentioned schools.

I have got accepted into the Georgia Health Sciences University.

I've got a rejection from University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center.

And I'm still waiting to hear from Marquette and Montana. Regarding Marquette, I've got an email saying that a decision was made on my application and they were writing the letters. They told me that I would be receiving them the next week.

Why list Tennessee if it's not an option? Wouldn't that be kind of a moot point? (Unless of course you're intending on re-applying?)

Decaf, have you finally heard about the University of Montana?
