If they are ranked the same, I would recommend Maryland.  California is insanely expensive.  If it is unfunded, save yourself a ton of money and live in Maryland/DC.

Job wise, California is probably better for finding a job.  Not entirely sure though, since I am not familiar with jobs in your major.  California is just as hot bed for all sorts of engineering jobs.

Great! Thanks for the advice.

Well ranking wise and prestige wise they are more or less ranked the same. I've been accepted for an unfunded (As of now) Masters in Environmental Engineering. The cities really don't matter. I did research them based  prestige etc etc but however still have no idea on what sort of employment I would receive post completion  on the degrees. Which cities offer better employment opportunities etc etc. Also I am not an American citizen. Hence asking around to see which would offer a good education and/or better employment offers post graduation. Thanks in advance. Sorry for being ambiguous with question.

I never understand these questions... You obviously researched each school and selected them based on some metrics (fit, prestige, whatever) over schools you didn't apply to. Use those same metrics to compare your acceptances too. We don't know where you fit better, where you have better funding, or what type of city you want to live in (protip: LA and DC are very different cities), especially with no information given about any of these things.

No,unfortunately. Still "being reviewed". It's frustrating, for sure, but I'm really excited about UT.

Do you have any idea what it means? Does it mean that they have selected you for an admit and are doing a final check or something or what?

I'm still "being reviewed" at UCI. Tell me so I can decide! I have to go to UT Austin in less than 2 weeks for the Department Campus Day! 

Did your status change? Did you receive an admit?

Has anyone applied to UCI for MS program?

[UCI APPLICATION RESULTS]

Hi, 

 

My UCI application status changed from under review to being reviewed! What do I make of this? I've applied for the MS Environmental Engineering program. 

 

Thanks.
