Congratulations!
So you've started hearing back from the schools you interviewed at (and some that didn't do interviews). So what now? First, enjoy! Some people apply to 10+ schools and still don't get any acceptances. Then you need to start thinking about your options. Start looking at the schools that are offering you acceptance and comparing them to decide which one you would like to go to. Remember, each school that offers you acceptance will require you to pay a deposit to save your seat in the program if you accept. Paying the deposit to every program you are accepted to will simply empty your bank account too quickly. The best way to handle this situation of deciding between multiple programs is to have a list of your top choices already made. That way, if you get into your top choice you can just accept their offer and be done. If not the top choice, you can accept your next highest choice that offers your admission. This, for me, has been one of the most stressful parts of the application process, deciding which school I want to go to (I didn't make a school priority list). After all was said and done I decided to go to the school that would cost me the least, but still had good board pass rates.
