A hard decision

What a week!

I had a money order ready for the MMF deposit on Tuesday. On Wed I got the Waterloo's Mfinance offer too!

I am so surprised that I can got accepted by Waterloo. That program usually admitted only 12-15 students each year and many of them are already PhD holders.

I am quite happy with the result. Now here comes a question--where should I go?

MMF has a better location and takes shorter time(12 months), but more expensive(36000-17000+living expenses).

Waterloo's program takes longer time(16 months) and it is probably harder/more technical (I ask a past graduate from that program, he is a Math PhD and still found it was quite challenging). I might struggle a lot in Waterloo.However, it has funding support.

Both provide internship opportunities.

I personally know the MMF program better. The only drawback to me is that it's a self-financing program.

A hard decision.....
