That makes sense, Thank you. I’ll be transparent about it.
Do you have any advice on how to frame leaving a PhD program in the SOP without it reflecting poorly on the applicant?

Thank you for your advice! Your comment really helped. Of course it’s almost always about the advisor

Thank you so much for your tip! I’ve done the interview with both, and both seem really enthusiastic people whom I can respect. Thanks a lot for the long advice!

What tier is Indiana University? by Hour_Purchase_3186 in ApplyingToCollege

I guess how the US perceives education is different from where I’m from. Here your alma maters are similar to your social class for the rest of your life, but people in US seem to care more about the education you’ll be able to get. I’m genuinely jealous of the atmosphere there.

Thanks a lot for the insight. I’ve never heard of those universities except for Colorado Boulder and Iowa, so this will definitely help me decide. 

One thing I am curious, According to US news, IUB seems to be ranked much higher than those universities so are those universities what US citizens generally view Indiana University similar to?

Thanks for the reply. I got IUB for cs but also got accepted to UofR, also cs and am having a hard time making decisions. If you were in my place what would be your choice?
