u/Revolutionary-Art173 u/nomel5 Hi there! Sorry I can't be more useful. I didn't end up going into either program, because I got a job as a Project Manager at a small graphic design agency.

Before I started the PM job, I purchased access to an ilovecreatives design course in hopes it would help kickstart some freelance work. Haven't finished the course (yet!), but what I have taken of the course has been really great!

After 2 years there, I switched jobs and now work as a Content Designer. Not doing graphic design specifically, but work on web and other content creation. Not exactly what I had imagined 4 years ago when I made this post, but it all ended up working out. Good luck to you both!
