Hello everyone! My bachelor's and master's are in Chemical Engineering. My research interest is in the development of theranostic agent. Although I'm still waiting for an announcement from a couple of universities, fortunately I was accepted for several universities presented below. Carnegie Mellon University (Chemistry Ph.D. Program, Chemistry graduate Rank #40) UC Santa Barbara (Chemistry Ph.D. Program, Chemistry graduate Rank #33) Purdue University (Chemistry Ph.D. Program, Chemistry graduate Rank #23) University of Washington (Molecular Engineering Ph.D. Program, no rank since it is an interdisciplinary program) I have talked to a professor at CMU who really wants me to join his lab. And I also like to join his lab since his research area perfectly matches with my previous research and my interest. However, problem is that CMU is not that prestigious school in the Chemistry field. Has anyone experienced this kind of dilemma? Which school would you choose if you are in my situation? Any comment would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you for your help in advance.
