thehopefulscientist Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I am currently trying to decide between two PhD programs - the Genetics Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Biology program at Carnegie Mellon University. They're both great programs, I like the people at both, both cities are nice, and both have interesting research. I am currently looking into PI's at both schools, and emailing the ones with research I find interesting as to whether or not they will have openings in their labs. I was wondering if anyone has any advice, about my decision specifically or just about picking a graduate program in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjej Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Frankly, if all else is equal, then just go with what "feels" right. Where do you get a better feeling when you visit? What campus is nicer? Which has better parking (lol). ntangibles & "emotional" factors are sometimes just as important as the nuts & bolts. Certainly, one must "feel" better than the other when you visit, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
