I'm having a very hard time trying to figure out the best place for me between Columbia or WashU. I loved both schools when I visited, but really could see myself going to WashU. Both schools are highly ranked and have researchers I'd be interested in working with, but I prefer the city of St. Louis to New York. The thing that I want some opinions on, however, is how much does the name of the school matter? My PI keeps telling me that going to Columbia is my best bet, as they are Ivy League, have a lot of famous PIs, and a lot of name recognition. However, my advisor tells me that the training I will get at WashU is just as good if not better than at Columbia. What do you think--is the Ivy League name that important? Or will I still have a decent future if I go to WashU?
