I got accepted by university of toledo in March, and I thought that was the only one accept me. But yesterday I just got email that I was accepted by UIC. UT offers a doctorate degree and UIC offers a master degree. Can anyone tell me which program I should take? Does anyone know which program is better and easier? Does anyone know which is more research based and which is more clinical based? $$is not my major concern, I need some opinions.
Please,please, I really need to decide it quickly.

Only you can decide what's the best option for you. There are quite a few posts on here about MOT vs OTD, and while some people (like me!) see the value in the extra education, no one can conclusively say it will offer you an advantage right out of school. Do you have time to visit either school? Toledo and Chicago are VERY different cities, so if you can't decide based on the curriculum or the program itself, maybe feeling out where you'd be living for the next few years can help you make your decision.

Hi, I'm currently a 2nd yr UIC student. UIC does offer an OTD program, but you'll have to apply for that as well (you can apply while in the MSOT program). UIC is definitely more theory/research based but all of this is great foundation for clinical work.

Congratulations on these great acceptances. Would you mind sharing your stats? Good luck!

Congrats on your acceptances! I'm sure you've already decided which school to attend. I'm applying to UT and UIC as well. Would you mind sharing your stats? Thanks!
