PLEASE HELP! Confused on what to do...

So, my top choice is the UCSF MEPN Program.

However, I got accepted to another school that begins in January and I have to decide whether or not to attend that school. It is more than twice the cost of UCSF and it is a year and a half longer than MEPN (to get my Masters).

Thing is, UCSF will not even notify me if I have an interview until mid December. Should I call UCSF and ask if they can give me any insight into whether or not I am getting an interview? I have no idea what I should do.

Please give me any advice in this situation. I really need your help!

Thank you so much,
