I think its pretty irresponsible to assert (not that you are personally) that RTS has a weak curriculum.

For one thing, there are several self-standing campuses of RTS. And I don't know of anyone who thinks Jackson, the flagship, is a "weak" school, comparatively. The poor schools are usually mainline schools who have lost any mooring to the Bible, and anyplace with little concern for church history, and the Reformed faith.

Certainly, you need to do your homework, and find a good fit. That is the second most important thing.

What is the first? Remember: YOU will make the difference in what you get out of your education. The best professors, the best curriculum, the best library, the best environment, the best local church... all that means little or nothing if you do not determine to get all you can out of the experience.
