  1. Hey guys, I finally decided to go with Stanford. Both schools are REALLY great in terms of research/people/startups but unfortunatly I couldn't attend both Thank you all for the tips and thoughts! London
  2. Thanks, This is very good advice. I starting to think that when comparing two top schools like these, the decision should be made according to potential advisors and not the school's prestige or other factors. I'm interested in areas just between EE and CS such as Systems research and Neural computation.
  3. Thanks guys! You gave me great points to think about. I actually visited Stanford and Berkeley a few months ago and got a pretty good feeling of what you said about the different campus atmospheres. Stanford is indeed more business-oriented and people there seem very focused on achieving goals. Berkeley seems more 'fun fun fun' and 'academic'. The professors I've met were GREAT in both schools, extremely nice and professional so I really can't really rely on that as well for my decision. Regarding the Quals, I dont really care for that because generally believe that if you really want to make it, you will (50% pass in the first time + 75% on the second time means that only 12.5% of the admits are left out and my guess is that most of them didn't really want to spend 5 years into PhD and wanted to 'exit' with a MA). Another question though. Regarding entrepreneurship, do you really think that Berkeley isn't a good place for that compared to Stanford? I saw they have their own entrepreneurs community (on the web at least) and they do have a very good B-school. Why do you think Stanford is a better place for this? Thanks again!!!
  4. Hi Guys, thanks for your answers! Do you agree with the tempProfileS guy? Is it true true that EE is generally more prestigious in the bay area entrepreneurial/academia scene? Is it true that 'berkeley CS is much more prestigious than stanford ee' ?
  5. Hi Guys, I was fortunate enough to get admitted to both Stanford (EE) and Berkeley (CS) PhD programs (with university fellowships). It's REALLY hard to choose! I know that Stanford is more 'entrepreneurial' - which is very important for me. But from the other side, Berkeley is a wonderful institution as well with great academic merit. Can you please tell me what are you thoughts regarding the pros and cons of each? Thanks so much!
