I have MS CS admits from ASU and UC Davis , I'm more inclined towards data science , which would be a better choice in terms of courses and opportunities for the same ? (I'm aware that Davis is more reputed , however there seem to be very few data science related courses and not many graduates from here seem to have taken up jobs in this domain)

Background: International student with a background in engineering and economics. I have a PhD offer from the University of Michigan's School of Information. The program looks good with a lot of interdisciplinary research. But, the Econ side of things doesn't seem to be as prominent as CS, HCI or stats within the department. On the other hand, I have PhD offers in Econ from UC-Davis, Ohio State, Iowa State and Arizona State. These are good econ program but don't have the prestige or the name recognition of UMich. After my PhD, I am equally open to an academic job or a research role in a big tech company. Please help me out with this decision.

Trying to choose between two very different programs
topaz998 posted a topic in Decisions, Decisions
I was just accepted into my first choice, UC Davis! I had been waitlisted and I just got the notification today. I'm pursuing a degree in art history and UC Davis is also my undergrad school. I am now feeling a bit confused as to where to attend. When I was waitlisted, I quickly applied to other schools and I was also offered a place in Claremont Graduate School's program for a degree in Arts Management. It's super hard to compare the two programs. Davis focuses mainly on research and also offers TA positions, while CGU is more focused on getting professional experience. Its location is also really great, since it's so close to a ton of major museums. However, tuition is 30k/year (though I recieved a 10k/year fellowship) and Davis' TA program almost completely covers the cost of the masters. The reason I'm still stuck on CGU is because I'd be so close to my family, and I'd also be able to gain professional experience during grad school. Davis is further away from major museums and recommends we do not keep a job outside of school. I'm having trouble choosing between the two schools. On one hand, I know that Davis is a prestigious university and offers great funding. However, I'm nervous after hearing about so many UC TAs' experiences. As well, I'm worried I will not have as many professional opportunities as I would have at Claremont. Does anyone have advice? It would be so greatly appreciated. -
Hi guys! Anyone have any insight or comments about the UC Davis Master's program? Trying to decide between it (funded) and a non-funded program with much more name recognition. Mainly doing a Masters to gain experience while I decide if I want to push for a PhD, or turn toward museum education. I study ancient art if that helps, but I'd love to hear any info you might have!

Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if anyone else is applying for this program. We don't have much of a presence on the results page over the past 8 years so I was just curious to know if anyone else had applied this season? I haven't heard a peep from Davis, but two rejections supposedly happened in early Feb. Also, compared to previous years it appears that decisions are coming out later than usual? Hopefully, decisions haven't gone out yet, but I guess it's possible that they forgot to reject me. D:

Any other current or previous applicants on here? I'm not expecting to be accepted (great GPA, poor GRE scores, no previous experience) but waiting is brutal! When do we expect acceptance/rejection emails? -
Cross posting it from the Computer Science thread: I've got admits from University of Colorado, Boulder and University of California, Davis, both for MS CS programs. I'm interested in machine learning (and NLP, recently) and I'll probably not be pursuing a PhD after MS. From what I've found, UCD is somewhat cheaper overall and has marginally better ranking in ML but is pretty poor NLP wise whereas CU Boulder is great in NLP. Research interests line up in both schools. No funding in either, and as far as I'm aware, job opportunities are somewhat better in California than Colorado because of the tech scene. My main issue is whether a degree from UC Davis is perceived as being of "lesser" value because it has a reputation for being rather laidback? And does the UC tag by itself hold any value over CU Boulder? Do you guys have any suggestions or any other information that could help?

Hi all, I've been having a hell of a time choosing which school to attend for my PhD in geology this fall. I have full funding at both schools. My dilemma is that I like the advisor and my would-be lab mates at UC Davis more than at UCSB, but I like the research more at UCSB than at UC Davis. Also I think the quality of life is just higher in Santa Barbara. Does any one have any advice? Thanks!

Hey guys, Just posting on here as I'm super nervous and not sure as to what to do. So I applied for PhD in MatSci and am trying to decide between UC Davis, UCLA and UCSD. Now I really like the UCSD research as they have a lot of faculty working with physics related stuff (I have a BS in physics) but I don't have gauranteed funding. One of my POI's at UCSD says he can't guarantee me anything between when I messaged him and April 15 so I can't base my decision on him, and others say they don't have funding for a GSR this year and they'd take me next year Similar situation for UCLA, one of my POIs says no funding and another says that he will take students but it's competitive and I'm not gauranteed anything. UC Davis however has given me $29K fellowship offer but I'm not sure if their research aligns with my interests as they focus heavily on biomaterials. So UCSD has a better reputation overall and I think better research opportunities but since it's so expensive to attend and I'm out of state it seems incredibly risky to me. Same with UCLA. I was told I could apply for physics TA positions and the Physics department usually gives some TA ships to students from other departments each quarter in both schools so should I hope for that and keep contacting professors? Or go with UC Davis even though it doesn't have as good a rep as UCSD or UCLA and the research may not be as appealing to me now as that of other schools? On a side note has anyone here TA'd for Physics department or some other department while in MatSci at either UCSD or UCLA? All help in these trying times is greatly appreciated!

Yesterday I received the decision of UC Davis, I was admitted in PhD Program in CS. Yeah I was crazy at the moment, but in the second look I found there's nothing about funding information except this: The graduate adviser or program staff member in your graduate program will be happy to discuss the program, course enrollment, and faculty interests at UC Davis. The graduate program is also your point of contact concerning any financial support that you will be offered or for which you have applied. Information on enrollment and fee payment will be sent at a later date. Please continue to check your email for additional notices from our campus. I searched the forum and found someone is quite similar to me, and the answer mentioned that "My dept in Davis gives the funding info after the recruitment weekend. I also emailed the program and asked to give me a general funding info, which they did." Therefore I have already send an email to the admission officer and CS dept chair to gently ask about the general funding information. But since nobody has replied me yet, I'm still worry about what if the CS PhD program did not provide any funding for me... so I wonder whether all of the PhD students get a funding covering their living expense and tuition fee, etc. Or, some of them have to pay a lot...

Have anyone heard from UC Davis regarding admission decisions for Masters in Statistics ?

Hi all- If you were accepted into UC Davis by your department, have you gotten the official paperwork from the grad admissions office yet? I've been accepted and offered funding by my department but don't have stuff from admissions, and the website still doesn't show everything. Thanks -
I was just wondering if anyone is applying to these programs for the Fall 2012 and how your applications are going. It would be nice to talk to people in the same boat and maybe compare notes. (This also applies to grad students currently in these programs.) -
When I talk about academic plans and research interests, do I go for a very narrow scope (i have research experience and have an idea of what i would do for my research project in my MS program), or should I talk about a broad set of research interests? I know that what you propose on your application doesn't have influence on what you end up actually doing in grad school, but should I show the committee I do have a specific idea about it and show that I have given what I would want my project to be a lot of thought? or that I am flexible and open to doing a broad range of research within a certain category (which is more realistic regarding what will actually happen due to grants, PI influence etc)? I'm not sure what they would prefer, and truthfully I while I can easily find great interest in any topic within my program (animal nutrition), I do have a strong opinion about what I would like to do in grad school. Thoughts?
