Bioinformatics NEU vs Ga Tech

[squeak99]

Considering

 

the brand + optimistic feasibility of Assistant-ships + thin chances for internship and mediocre job scenario at Ga Tech 

 

and

 

the mediocre univ+ no funding opportunities+compulsory 6-month coop+good job prospects due to coop and location Boston at NEU

 

what would be the best one to pick?

 

I will be really happy to welcome views from different people!

 

Thanks & Regards

Did you get funding at GT? How would the prices of the two compare?

[squeak99]

I didn't get any funding at GT but when I was talking to seniors I got know that almost everyone would end up with RA ship(tuition waiver) at least by the second semester and all we can rely at  Northeastern is on on-campus jobs mainly because it doesn't provide any Assistant-ships. But as I was saying the job/internship scenario at Northeastern is better compared to GT. So I am kind of confused among these two.

I'm also having trouble deciding between these two.

According to me:

NEU - Its in boston which is a huge plus + co-op sounds good

GATech - very reputed

I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks

I know this is an old thread but i'm just wondering what did you end up choosing? If you chose GA Tech, did you get an assistantship?
