I also got one.

Which field are u going to study

[42horsemen]

Hey,

My area is Computer Vision, Robotics applications of CV and AI.

What about you?

Hey, I got a UNC Comp Sci admit as well. I am primarily interested in robotics right now, but they have a lot of other cool projects with graphics and simulation.

Where are you guys from?

[42horsemen]

Hi,

I've got an admit to the MS in CS program. I've also got an admit to Georgia Tech. I'm finding it tough to choose between UNC Chapel Hill and GaTech. Any pointers, guys?

Depends on what your field is, but in most areas like vision, robotics, HCI, theory, etc gatech wins. But you're a master student, so I'd say research is less important. If i were you I'd choose more based on the location because the two universities are not that far apart in ranking (Gatech ~9-10 UNC ~20-25)

Thanks, explorer-c. I was thinking along the same lines, and I'll most probably be heading to GaTech.

Hey, I also got a MS admit to UNC Comp Sci. I went to their visit weekend, they have very strong graphics group. Professors there said they are ranked first for graphics. So I agree with explorer-c, depends on the area you are interested in. Graphics and sim at UNC definitely rocks.

[42horsemen]

Yeah, UNC is renowned for graphics, especially virtual reality.
