UPDATE: I am posting this because several others did last year and it was helpful information. I was accepted to all schools applied. I was offered 2 year track admission to Clemson University with a first year assistantship (covers tuition). RPI offered about half tuition for 3.5 years, but it was not enough to make financial sense (although, this is the program that interested me most). SUNY Buffalo offered a full tuition waiver for 2.5 of 3 years. Charlotte offered nothing besides admission. In the end, I selected Clemson.
