MFA Photography: Yale versus RISD?

[mfaphoto1]

Hi,

 

I am only *thinking* of applying to graduate school. I am still on the fence. I am new to this forum and read previous MFA Photography posts/threads and am wondering if anyone has insight on Yale versus the Rhode Island School of Design for photography. I've looked at the student work from both schools and some look similar while others do not. Both schools have thesis shows in New York. I am primarily interested in any similarities/differences in each school's respective admissions process and program/critique structures.

 

This comparison is based on the U.S. World News rankings. I am interested in east coast schools which is why I am not including School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

 

Thank you for any information you can provide!

agreed with ernope. also, email or speak to current/former students to understand each program's structure from people who have gone/going through it.
