  1. Hi,

    I'm in the same situation you were 3 years ago: interested in robotics and choosing between MIT AeroAstro SM->PhD vs CMU RI PhD.

    I see from your profile that you went with MIT. Would you be able to tell me how you came to this decision? Is it true that qualifying exams are used to weed out students from the Phd program? 

    What was your offer from MIT like? I am offered a funding by RAship which is guaranteed for the first year and likely to continue for the rest of the degree given I "maintain satisfactory academic performance and research progress". Do you ever feel as if you are in danger of losing funding?

    Lastly, are most SM students RAs? How is balancing coursework with your research?

    I would appreciate any info/advice you can give :)
