  1. Thank you both. This is some great advice Of the US schools I've applied to, I would be happy to go to any of them. You two have definitely clarified this for me- as long as I get an acceptance (WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?) I think moving back to the US is the right move. That being said, on the off chance that nothing comes through I don't think I will feel that bad about attending Uni in the UK for another year. Cheers from Scotland!
  2. This is my biggest concern about studying in the UK. I think that I would prefer to take my time and get a really indepth education with a two year masters, like you said.
  3. Oh my god yes! I'm applying to schools in the UK and the US. When a school in the UK gives you an offer, you have 30 days to accept or decline. And it just so happens that my top UK school's (Cranfield) offer runs out on April 7th. At this point I'm considering calling the US schools which haven't responded (a.k.a ALL OF THEM) and letting them know that if they don't make a decision quick I'm cutting my losses and throwing in with one of the best aerospace schools in the UK. UK schools had free applications, and all responded within a month...
  4. Hey all! I'm not sure how many people on this site are in the same situation as me, but I think this topic may be general enough to warrant discussion. I'm a UK/US dual citizen, and I've been studying physics for the last 4 years in the UK. I've applied to schools in both countries (masters in aerospace engineering), and I need help weighing the pros and cons. US Pros: 2 year Masters program gives me more time to learn, and may be viewed as 'more legitimate' Aerospace industry is much better in the States After 4 years in the UK I think I'd like to spend some time in the US (also, I think I want to eventually end up living/working in the US long term) Easier to enter US aerospace industry from US school UK Pros: 1 year Masters program will allow me to enter the industry much earlier UK schools are fantastic at putting graduates directly into jobs with grad placements- I would be able to quickly find a job and gain experience (I suspect) my current qualifications would be seen as 'more legitimate' in the UK, and I would have an easier time finding a job here. MUCH MUCH Cheaper I don't believe that my top school in the US would give me a better education than my top school in the UK, or vice versa. Luckily, as a dual citizen, I don't need to worry about Visas, but if anyone would like to extend this discussion to international applicants, feel free. Any thoughts?
