Caltech EE(MS) vs Cornell EE(PhD)

[peterpeterhu]

I got two offers from Cornell and Caltech, both offer me RA positions. I am not sure which one to choose.

 

The track in Caltech is about circuit design and radar, the one in Cornell will probably be about plasma and electromagnetic. 

 

I am interested in both, and haven't decided which one I should devote to. 

 

Any suggestions about job placements, research, student life etc about these two places? 

 

By the way, I am an international student. 

 

Thanks : )

Seems like the real decision here is between a Masters and a Phd, not really between the two schools (although the subject matter for the phd is kinda important)

 

what do you want to do in 10 years?

 

from an initial standpoint, circuit design is always going to be in demand for jobs
