@bsharpe269 Thank you so much for your answer! I did not really consider the possibility of the change of mentor before, and I'll look into that immediately! So thanks a lot!

Hi, I have been agonizing over this problem for weeks, so it will be very helpful if you guys would share your thoughts on this issue. I have two options at hand--a distinguished professor in UCI vs. a relatively less distinguished professor in Duke. I really take to the professor at UCI personally and recognize her as one of the best professors in my field, yet I am not sure what difference the name of the university would make when I apply to jobs in university after graduation (as a researcher or professor). I am inclined towards professor over university now, but I am not sure. Please share your opinions! Thank you very much!
