Hello everyone, I have received offers in CHEM PHD program from RPI and Tufts. I am a foreigner and thus I am not familar with the reputations or people's impressions of these schools in the US--the only way I get info is from the web, and maybe US News ranking is the most important resource for me. I hope to I can get suggestiions in making the choice from US people, especially from people who are familar with chemistry. THX!
The rank of RPI (41) and Tufts (28) are similar, and both their graduate program in chemistry ranks around 70-80. I am interested in either material chemistry(1st choice, RPI's strong point) or Bioanalytical chemistry(2nd choice, Tufts's strong). Besides, both of them are so far alway from my home(foreign..) and the salary provided from them are also similar (around 25000 from RPI and around 27000 from Tufts).
Can you please give me some suggestions between the two?
Thank you so much, sincerely!
Good luck!
