What are the decision factors to consider before responding to the Admission offers?

[2019PHD]

While I am still waiting for one more email , would like to start narrowing down and respond back to the colleges that I have already heard from.. In addition to the Professors and Research domains, what other criteria should one consider to part of the decision criteria...

I think funding is probably most important unless money is no issue for you. If you haven’t received funding info from everyone yet, I would hold off on deciding until you do. Also if you have visits scheduled that’s important too. You need to know how you feel about the location and people you’d be working with.

I found a really helpful article on this topic. Please check it out. As it points out, there are several factors like location, reputation, total student intake, etc that needs to be taken into consideration before responding to any admission offers.
