Hi all,
This is my situation: I applied for the PsyD at Yeshiva University, after receiving no interview I figured that when I got an envelope in the mail that it was a rejection, however it was an acceptance to the MA program in Mental Health Counseling stating that I would be guaranteed an interview for the doctoral program.
A few minutes prior, I received a phone call from Alliant International/CSPP at San Francisco (where I was last Friday) stating that I got into their PsyD program.
There are several pros and cons and I'm very confused as to what to do, any help would be appreciated!!:
Pros Yeshiva:
- nyc
- better reputation
- closer to home (I'm Toronto based, graduate of the University of Toronto)
- easy access to kosher food
- possibility to gain acceptance to my first choice program
Cons Yeshiva:
- the new masters is possibly 2.5 years, am inquiring as to whether the extra courses can be completed in the summer
- 2/2.5 years = masters; alliant 4 years = masters/psyd
- no guarantee I'll gain admittance to the doctoral program
- more debt with more years of education
Pros Alliant:
- masters plus doctoral in 4 years
- san francisco is amazing
- better weather
Cons Alliant:
- much farther from home
- from what I've read on here, not the best reputation
- more difficult to meet people
