Austin's offers were sent awhile back.

I would ask for an extension, is there a reason why you can't wait until April 15th?
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign vs. University of Texas - Austin: Materials Science Ph D.

Both are great schools of course, UT Austin has a professor that's world renowned, and is willing to offer me a position.
UIUC has a stronger all around program it seems, though I won't be matched up until I start in the fall.
I would prefer the cooler climate in Illinois but that's really not a deciding factor. I'd be by myself to begin with if I went to Illinois, whereas for Texas I'd be with a classmate that's also relocating down there for his profession, again, not a deciding factor.
Both schools have really great projects that I'd like to work on,
So which one would you guys suggest?
