  1. Heading to the Grad Center this fall. Any ideas on finding somewhere to live?
  2. Placement stats do indeed favor B, though both A and C actually have very good records in this regard as well. Financial package looks to be similar from all, adjusted for differences in cost of living. I guess it comes down to really knowing what I want my research focus to be and making the best choice I can based on that.
  3. There is sizable population of foreign students, so yes indeed there are very good ethic restaurants such as Indian (you must try Bombay Grill on Green St.!), Thai, Korean, and Chinese.
  4. I just emailed the DGS at Rutgers and he said I'm on the waitlist. Perhaps that is true of others who have not yet received a definite acceptance or rejection.
  5. You're probably right about School B... Both schools have excellent record of students obtaining external funding (A even claims their record is the best in the field). Both also have very good records of graduate job placement. C Pros: broad course offerings, cohort of students doing more like-minded research. Still waiting on funding. A Pros: Lots of research opportunities, guaranteed full funding, location with nice weather . Offers more specialized classes in tutorial format as opposed to normally offered classes, since its a smaller program (not really a pro or con). I am currently leaning towards A... I'll think on that for a couple more days while I'm waiting for funding info from C.

    Atlanta, GA

    Bumping this thread. Anyone with experience living around the Atlanta/Emory Area? Any suggestions or insights?
  7. I'm currently finishing my undergrad at Urbana-Champaign. Its a great campus, with lots to do and places to study/play. Campus town is indeed generally quite infested with undergrads, but there are many grad students who live very close to campus as well. As long as you stay on the Urbana side most places are very quiet and nice. Farther from campus you can get even nice places at much cheaper prices... but outside of walking distance (bad for winter). The bus system is very good, however (particularly for a small town). Downtown champaign is booming, for a town of its size, and is great to hang out away from most undergrads (who tend to stay on campus bars etc.). Hope that helps!
  8. Hey Guys! I've been able to pretty much narrow my list down to three schools, but am having trouble choosing. School A: Around #15 ranked department, with PERFECT advisor, but no one else really doing directly relevant research (though Mr. advisor says he often shares students with his colleagues at other institutions who do other such relevant research - such as person at School C). School B: #1 Ranked program in the field, but without any faculty doing exactly what I want to. Though there is flexibility to go beyond individual faculty's specific focus. School C: Generally Top 5 ranked program, with LARGE faculty and multiple people who kind of overlap with my research interests, and potential advisor says he collaborates with people who have my exact research interests (such as person at School A). Any thoughts?? Thanks, guys!!!!
  9. Looks like the rejections from Harvard are finally coming our way....
