Re: (GRE Success! ) Select a Univ. from admits

Hello Akshay,

All other things being equal, the lab in UCF has more researchers and is
more prominent. U. Miss has the NASA connections, and is also compelling,
but is more remotely situated. In terms of grad student life, the ability
to find employment etc., I would pick Florida.

Please have a few more discussions as you have the time for it.

Sincerely,

Srihari
