Aftermath

Of the limited 14 Fall students I know, there are at least 2 also got offer from NCSU PhD. Now they both got admitted to Booth. If you have professors at NCSU that you are particularly interested in, just go ahead. Give it a visit. At PhD level I think, it's more about your advisor. For the "cash cow" issue, I think the 25% tuition remission for everyone says something about it.

Where did you go? I have the same confusion now. Would you mind share some post thoughts on the programs?
