<p>^Then Muhlenberg would be a good one to put on a list as a possible safety. I didn’t apply to Muhlenberg or Northwestern, so I don’t know much about the programs academically, I just see them brought up in a lot of similar conversations. 
I apologize if the comparisson was incorrect.</p>
<p>MichaelNKat is right that there are plenty of other threads worth looking through to find answers to your questions, including preparing to apply which all MT hopefuls should look at. I am very happy with my choice of school, and CCU has a subforum that has quite a few posts about my experience at the school and the program itself if you’d like to look more around it.</p>
<p>I’d also suggest finding the “Freshman Experience” thread and reading through it. There are many posts in that thread from various different schools where students post what their every day schedules are like. I would say that it would be a great place to start and read up on what programs are really like in practice, and it can narrow down your decisions some.</p>
