Riah Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Anyone have any advice in choosing between Penn and Brown (PhD, Theory)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeleteMePlease Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Wow you got a hell of admits. Personally I would go for Georgia Tech On your question: I would choose UPenn over Brown (nicer location, better overall ranking, bigger department afaik). But I am an international application, so what do I know? Edited April 9, 2014 by GermanStudent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhDerp Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Did you just say "nicer location"?! I love Providence!! I only know anything about Brown from a UG perspective, not a grad one. But I know that it's very progressive, considered the most liberal of the ivy's in particular, and everyone I know who went there (like 2 people lol) absolutely loved it. But grad experiences are unique! When in doubt choosing between programs, I say go with the more highly regarded POI, with some kind of weight based on alternatives (if there's only 1 amazing POI vs 2 good ones, go to the place with 2 good ones). Good luck! ^__^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorki Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Riah: Both are good school, but we would need more information about your research interest to talk about program fit, which is really what you should be looking for at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
