Hi folks, fortunately, I got PhD admissions from the two schools above(both mechanical, and specifically I want to study in control engineering) with full scholarships, and I just can't make the decision yet. I think Cornell's program is well-organized, and it feels like they care more about students since they get less number of phd students compared to UIUC. So I am more interested in Cornell. However, the graduate school ranking of UIUC is higher than Cornell, and I heard that the reputation for graduate school is better at UIUC. This makes me confused. I am wondering if this would affect my future career. Also, I want to know why the rank of UIUC is higher. I am curious whether this rank relfects that UIUC has more talented phd students, who will make the atmosphere and environment around me. Where will you choose if you were in my situation? How do you think? Ps. For both school, I can choose my supervisor after the start of my first semester, so I cannot directly compare my advisor. Thnks for your opinion and advice!
