I've been accepted to the M.A Counseling program at both Adler School of Professional Psychology (Chicago Campus) and also at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I am having the most difficult time finding information on comparing the two schools online and I am having trouble deciding. I would appreciate your input on the pros and cons of each school because I do need to decide soon. Here is a quick look at my current situation:
Adler: Offered me a $5000 scholarship for the first year. Does not have a child and adolescent concentration which is what I want to do, but I can always do my practicum with children which should be more than sufficient.
CSPP: Will not have info on scholarships before the date I need to decide (because of Adler's deadline). But it does have a child and adolescent concentration.
I want to know which is stronger academically and will prepare me better for the license exam. Please provide detailed pros and cons.
Finally, should I expect around the same dollar amount in financial aid from both schools since it's all based on my same financial situation or does each school afford to give different offerings depending on THEIR situation and what they can offer?
Thank you very much.
