Okay, so I was pretty content with UW Masters in Applied Math, RPI calls me this morning with funded PhD offer.
Can anyone help me out?
Here are some thoughts:
They both are strong in research that I'm interested in, though UW is stronger.
Seattle > Troy
I would have to be ~30k for the masters, then reapply for the PhD program at UW; I get 18k plus tuition waived at RPI
They are comparable in US News Ranking... but NRC puts UW at 1, and RPI isn't even on there
What do you guys think? Ahhhh. How is RPI's reputation, coming from the west coast, I rarely hear of it...
Thanks!
