UAB.
UAB讀得好也可以外申的. 時間也不會延長大長as most european school seperate master with phd, i.e. dont have to start at master again, and the phd is shorter than the US one (as length of phd in US is somehow like master + phd in other country)
Yeshivai能跳到rochester的例子, 應該算是outlier吧? this means that you need to be the topppest of the class.
if one assume risk neutrality, compare the mean of placement with uab.
i guess UAB win.
and UAB choice indeed kind of option, with upside and bounded downside.
