NYU, Hunter, Fordham for MSW, Fall 2013- what's ur opinion?

[MSWgradcandidate]

So, I have applied to these three schools. Now that I have been accepted to one and pending interview for another, it has become very real that I have to make the best decision possible. For this discussion, I am going to not consider finances (I'll have to end up getting a loan anyways), but rather, I would love to share thoughts/perceptions on these three top programs.

 

I know that NYU is extremely strong for clinical, and that is a huge component for me. However, I am personally very interested in a program such as the one that Fordham offers, which allows you to learn/field practice on the clinical side, as well as learn about supervisory/managerial side of SW. I like the diversity of this path offering, so I am crossing my fingers that I get an acceptance from them so that I can really consider further.

 

With respect to Hunter, I read on another forum that from this person's experience, Hunter and Fordham are very similar, but didn't elaborate further. In doing my own research, yes, of course there are similarities in terms of the offerings, but I am wondering if anyone would like to share what measures you are using to compare (other than financial) and why a particular school is of preference.

 

So what are your thoughts and perceptions about any or all of these three schools?
