  1. They promised to me. I hope they will fulfill that promise. I hope so.
  2. 1) Yes 2) Not so much. A is at the top and B is the 6th. 3) Yes. 4) I don't know. 5) Yes for A and I'm not so sure about B. 6) I have just visited B. I could definitely live there for two years.
  3. UPDATE I got in! I was accepted at University B! I talked to a professor and he invited me to work with him! His research interests me A LOT. However... - He's relatively new as a Principal Investigator. - I got no initial funding, so I would have to cover my expenses for three months by my own pocket. - Easier (and cheaper) to go home if I need to. While - University A is considered the best university of Latin America. - Fully funded. - My advisor would be a established and well-respected professor with lots of research grants. But his research is not as exciting as professor's B to me. - I won't have enough money to go home if I need to (2 years far away from my family). Is the University's prestige really that important? I don't know how to choose what is best for me.
  4. Hello everyone, Recently, I was accepted into a MSc program at a highly regarded university in my country (let's call it University A). However, I don't have an adviser: all of the interesting ones are already taken, and the lines of research of the remaining ones don't excite me one iota. Former students told me that 95% of the advisers are big jerks; they might be great in their areas of expertise, but they don't know how to treat people. I'm from a different state, so I don't personally know any of them yet. I'm thinking of applying for another university because I heard great things about some advisors I actually wanna work with (University B). It's a less prestigious university, but sometimes I think it will be better for me. Even so there's a problem, I have to pass in their written knowledge test to get in. I studied a lot for the University A test (5 months) and I'm completely exhausted right now. I don't know if I could study for more months to be competitive for University B. I already got funding for 2 years in University A, and there's a possibility I get none from University B. Being accepted by University A is a dream coming true, but a sociopath advisor can make my time there a living hell. University B is smaller but it is also amazing, and I would get a valuable education there anyway. I don't know what to do...
