  1. To add more details: Northeastern has a very big department, with a large faculty group and many phd students. Brown has a small, but productive, group. Northeastern has a great location being in Boston, but Brown has probably a more prestigious name, being an Ivy. If I choose Providence, I will probably have to commute from Boston (it isn't too bad, but still around 3hrs/day commute).
  2. Sorry, I finally could get the third reference letter and forgot about the post. I ended up applying to a few universities and luckily got some offers.
  3. Hi all, this decision thing is becoming a torture. I narrowed it down to Northeastern Uni vs Brown. I like both possible advisors, who work on different things (albeit in the same broad field). I have also visited both campuses, but it didn't help much because I liked both. Has anyone got any experience with those schools for a CS PhD?
  4. Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately it's time I'm missing now. Since the deadline is approaching fast, I don't think I can get one of my professor to write even an ok letter in time. I will try anyway, however I would really like to have a backup plan if that doesn't work.
  5. Hi everone (it's my first post). I am trying to apply for a PhD position, but unfortuantely I have only 2 reference letters. (I am an international students and this whole reference letter thing is not common in my country) I was hoping it would not have been a big problem, but it turns out it is a HUGE problem and every university requires at least 3 letters. Since application deadlines are (ususally) on the 15th of Dec, it also seems like it is way too late to look for any other possible source of reference letters. So do you know any US university with a good Computer Science PhD program which accepts applications with only 2 reference letters? Thanks
