jamie_59 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 What would you choose between these two? Advisor at Georgia Tech is the Guru in my field. Professors at UW in my field were all graduated from the Guru's group at GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spamhaus Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think it all comes down to fit. Go to the visit weekends and see who you get a better vibe from. Also, if the UW professors have only recently gotten a tenure track job they may have more time to dedicate to a new student than someone who has a large lab and is well established. you_will_get_in_fam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, professors at UW are all senior faculties as well.Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabbysaurus Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I agree with @spamhaus. You should definitely visit them both before deciding if you can. I have already visited a few schools and it has completely changed my view of things. If you cannot visit, you should at least try to Skype with professors you think may be your advisor and some of their current grad students.
