(GRE Success! ) Select a Univ. from admits

Hi all,

I have received accepts from the following universities for Master's in ECE
for fall 2012:

1. Rutgers
2. Univ. of Missouri, Columbia
3. Univ. of Central Florida

I want go for a thesis based course and do research and specialization in
Computer Vision/ Robot Vision/Image processing. I would also want to
convert to a PhD if I find a good professor and research to work on.

Please give your suggestions on the above univ.

Sincerely,
Akshay Jain.
