Hi all, I got admitted to theory group in these three schools, but could not decide. I have only visited UChicago so far, where Babai is indeed a nice & good prof. I also plan to visit Maryland or Duke, but both have visit day on March 26. Any suggestion which one is better for a theory student?

Mainly depends on your interest. Which subfield you like in theory? If combinatorics style (like network design, graph algorithms, etc), Maryland is definitely the best in these three. And they just hired a very strong one Mohammad Taghi HaijAghayi recently.
