UMich MSI & Cornell MPS Info Sci

[cye]

Hey folks! I recently got admitted to UMich MSI & Cornell MPS Info Sci (plan to extend to 1.5 years) and is struggling with making the decision.

My career goal is to become a ML/AI product manager and I have already had several internship experiences (not in the States). I am especially interested in areas like social computing, critical data studies, and human-ai interaction.

I see the current conflicts being the following:

1. Cornell's curriculum is pretty flexible and more avant-garde in my opinion, which is what I hope to pay for an education. To be honest, I hope to take a lot of hard classes.

2. Not sure if I'd go on a phd track later but UMich's MS seems more legit than Cornell's MPS.

3. Umich seems to provide more support for master students both career wise and school wise.
