Hi everyone!
I'm hesitating about which program to choose. My potential advisors from these programs are both very nice person and got really strong publication records.
OSU:
Pros:
1. The advisor is a young rising AP and is more hands-on in terms of advising style. I think I can learn a lot by doing research with him and should be able to make better publications during my PhD time.
2. CS PhD Might be better than IE PhD?
Wisc:
Pros:
1. The advisor is a respected full professor. He is more of a chill and hands-off type, I can tell he cares and supports his students very much (will support me in exploring various directions that I like). But also this means I need to make great efforts to publish good articles on my own.
2. The IE department in Wisc has a high reputation.
3. I am a master's student in Wisc, so I can transfer credits. I can graduate earlier.
No cons for these two programs coz I like them both and I feel so lucky to have this "sweet worries", ; D.
Any advice will be really appreciated, thank you so much!!!
