Hello all! I first one to congratulate everyone on their amazing offers! As everyone is in the stage of decision-making process, I wanted to bring up a question. I am seriously in between NYU and Duke and I was wondering what you guys think? -So the advantage of Duke is that it is more prestigious than NYU and life is much easier there with the phd stipend though their methods training is not as impressive as NYU -The big advantage of NYU is the rigorous methods training, which I think makes a candidate a lot more competitive in both academia and private sector job market, though the life is MUCH harder with that stipend to live in NYC. I would appreciate if you guys can share what you think!
