Hi @jeff94, 

I will post here exactly what I recommended to another applicant in another thread (http://forum.thegradcafe.com/topic/92923-really-need-help-u-of-new-hampshire-vs-mississippi-state-u-phd/#comment-1058505425).

I believe that the best you can do right now is:

• Check the universities' websites and see what faculty members are working on, and if you see yourself doing anything similar;
• Once you find a faculty member that you might be interested in working with, shoot an email to their current/previous graduate students and ask about their experience working with that professor. Finding a good adviser is one of the most important things in graduate school.

Hope this helps.
