Clinical MSW at U of Chicago or NYU

[ClinicalMSWseeker]

Hi all! 

 

I have been accepted into the U of Chicago and NYU MSW programs for fall 2016. I am every excited about both of these and see the advantages to attending either. 

 

I am definitely looking for a more clinically focused program. I know that NYU is KNOWN for its clinical side and from what I've seen on the Chicago website they have a good program but I can't tell how good their clinical track is. I am wondering if anyone out there has any input? 

 

I also know that Chicago is known for its specialty in child welfare which is what I'm interested in. I have been offered scholarships to both schools but twice as much from U of Chicago. I am, however, pretty interested in living in New York City! I have also been accepted to Columbia but have read that they are much more policy focused. 

 

Any opinions are super helpful. Thanks in advance!
