iphi Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) How many years the program takes to complete. The schools I am applying to range from 3 to 7! How many students get paid internship placements (my program culminates in this)? Is funding guaranteed all (x) years? Mentoring styles/what current grad students think about working with my POI.

JBums1028 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 My #1 priority is assistantships. If a school doesn't offer me an assistantship, there's a good chance that will be a deal breaker for me. Everything else I'm taking into consideration, but to a much lower priority. So if I get two really good assistantship offers, then I'll start to look at faculty, curriculum, cohort size, etc. to narrow my choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
