UPenn VS NYU applied math masters

[broken_symlink]

I'm trying to decide between the applied math computational science masters program at UPenn and the scientific computing masters program at NYU.

 

I am personally leaning towards UPenn because I'm interested in doing research and feel that I have more options in terms of professors to work with for a masters thesis. The program also appears to be much more flexible than NYU. 

 

However, I know NYU is one of the best applied math departments, so I guess the scientific computing masters program must be pretty good as well, since you have to take a number of applied math courses. I don't think I would get as much out of the program though because I already have a BA in math and a BS in computer engineering and have taken like 5 of the 8 required courses before. I also looked through the faculty list a few times and there weren't really any professors that jumped out at me in terms of research interests. 

 

Does anyone know anything about either program?
