Stanford vs Georgia Tech, Masters Electrical Engineering

[anuishp]

Hey Guys

I have been accepted at Stanford and Georgia Tech for an MS in Electrical Engineering. Here are the relevant details:

1) Georgia Tech- Full Scholarship

2) Stanford- No funding, but family is willing to fund

Which one should I pick? I have less than 48 hours to decide!

Thanks!

I would go with Georgia Tech because of the funding. Personally, I have undergraduate student loans so i would try to avoid increasing my debts.

Georgia Tech is a reputable school (#4 USNews, if you're going by that metric) so people who are in the field will know the school. You also forgot other important relevant details:

• Will this a be terminal degree?
• Do you want to do a thesis/research?
• What is your intended specialty?
• How important is location? Which do you prefer?
• What do you plan on doing after earning the MS?
• Where do you plan to work, if you're going into industry?
• In 10 years, will the school name matter? (Some people take great pride in their alma mater)
