Hello! I am an international student studying biological science and I recently got some PhD offers:
1. UIUC (Molecular and Cellular Biology)
2. USC (Keck Med school, Biomedical and Biological Science)
3. UVA (Biology)
4. U of Georgia (Life Science)
Since I have never been to US before, I am wondering if someone could give me any suggestions about these offers? Which one of them has the highest reputation? Which one is the best for me to do research? Where should I go? What do most of the US people think about university ranking? Also I would be very happy if you are willing to tell me about the prestigious professors in those programs.
I would like to accept the offer asap. If you are not familiar with the ranking, pls tell me about your general idea of these schools.
Thank you very much
