Re: (GRE Success! ) Help regarding univ finalization

I am assuming shalini want to get involved in research at a wireless
lab. In that
case, its important to investigate if she can work well with the
professor as opposed
looking for the reputation of the school.

For instance, the school of information studies(IST) at syracuse
university is ranked second. There is a professor who heads a very
famous research lab in IST.
But, it is very difficult to work for him/her for most students.

For such investigations, you may want to talk to current students in the lab.

students as a great market, and not necessarily as future researchers. Like it or not USC is one of them.
Separating the funding from the lopsidedness of teaching techniques or their absence at USC, your
decisions should be based on financial rationale if that bothers you the most.
