So, if you are a strict dispensationalist - Masters or DTS would be good.
If you are a Calvinist - any of the three would be good.
If you really dislike Calvinism (but are not really Arminian) - you should probably consider Liberty or SWBTS.
If you are not a classic dispensationalist, or if you are but don't necessarily want that view constantly reinforced, then SBTS is a great choice.
If you are solely seeking a school with an amazing set of scholars, SBTS is an amazing school to attend.
After the dust settles form the argument, I think we can agree that SBTS will not fail you.
Which Seminary?

The interesting thing is that DTS is actually moving more and more to progressive dispensationalism over classical dispensationalism. Actually with Blasing now over at SWBTS, there's been a bit of an influx over there as well as I understand.

I guess I can see why the body of Christ is so divided and powerless in the world. Sad. -

Second, I did not say they didn't "teach what you believe." I said ALLOW FOR other beliefs. Huge difference.
We all have to know where to draw the line. The theological minutia of the timing of the rapture, should NOT be one of them. -
Hopefully our original poster sees the potential value in the same.

John said we are to try every not just some spirits and not just some, if we are lead by the Spirit in a conviction Doctrinally why should we compromise what the Spirit Convicts us about? Just for the sake of a great curiculum, what makes it great? If it doesn't match ones convictions should you attend?
Sorry Eschatology is an important doctrine of the church get it wrong and your whole belief system if off.
Just as Pnuematology and Soteriology are important enough to ensure you align with the school otherwise you compromise your convictions and will compromise on other things. Such as churches especially SBC churches are allowing women to teach men, and are overlooking the basics requirements for deacons and pastors. All because of a little compromise with their education.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Test EVERY Spiriti, EVERY teaching and see where the Spirit leads.
2 Timothy 4:3
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Titus 1:9
Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Titus 2:1
But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
I feel Pre-trib, pre-mil dispensationalism is the truth so why would I
seek after itching ears for what some feel is a great curiculum it isn't great if I must compromise what I am convicted in sound doctrine for things that by my convitions are unsound doctrine? Tell why you feel a compromise of conviction is best? -

I'll have to agree with Ryan and Havensdad on this one. It's important to stick to your guns, but you need to know where to draw the line. -

Princeton Theological Seminary is not the same place as Princeton University. I do not think Princeton Seminary grads had anything to do with Wall Street.
I have heard good things from Westminster. What about RTS?
