I’m thinking I need an in-person Master’s program instead of 98% online.

I’ve been thinking and I’m pretty much convinced I need an in-person Master’s program. Supposedly, a Master’s program is a Bachelor's program on crack, so I don’t think I’d do well with an online program.
Insert University of Wyoming in Laramie. If I understand what I read correctly, the Master’s program is tuition free, they pay you to attend, and there’s assistantships and internships you can participate in.
The problem?
They only accept 3–5 students per year for each concentration.
I guess I’m going to have to up my game to make sure I’m one of the chosen.
