This is kind of too big a decision for a quick poll (what factors are you considering?)

This is kind of too big a decision for a quick poll (what factors are you considering?)

Believe me I couldn't agree more, and I'm not basing any decision off this poll, I just thought it would be fun to know. I've already visited both, and am pretty sure which I am going to attend (I have been thinking about this for weeks). I just wanted to get the initial impressions of other people in the forum, because it was a really tough call for me. On one hand Wisconsin is a higher ranked program (for whatever thats worth) with a legendary database group, and on the other Brown is very selective, has a lot of ties in industry, and is situated in New England where they work a lot with the other Ivy Leagues. Just wondering what people thought...thanks for the concern though.

Depends on what you want to do. For Graphics definitely Brown, for PL/Systems definitely UWisc.
