Thanks for reading.
I have admitted into the MS/PhD program with MS track in UW-Madison(1st year fellowship and additional 3 years TA funding), Yale and UC Davis PhD program(both 5 years funding).
My research interest lies in software engineering and programming languages. For me, these three school all have match professors. But SE and PL in all these schools seem to be not very strong...
The other option for me is to finish a MS in UW-Madison, and then apply for top 10 PhD program, is that possible?
Since UW-Madison MS has no difference with PhD in first two years. I can involve into prof's research projects, if I actively search research opportunity.
But Yale is ivy and UC Davis is so near to Silicon Valley.
Really confused, and thanks for your suggestion in advance.
