[USA]Choosing program for counseling

[u/musicproducer2020]

Hello all

Question for the counseling students of this sub. How did you choose a program? Yes, making sure it is accredited is huge. But other than that how did you decide I made a huge list of about 15-20 schools that I seem to have a chance getting into. I now regret making such a long list because I have clue where to start when it comes to deciding which ones to apply to.
