I have just received the admission as master of science in EE from University of southern California and Columbia U, and quite confused with which one to accept.

Columibia Uni has great fame as an Ivy league U, and the rank for EE programme is also top 20.

The EE program of USC is fairly large and has a great number of students. The rank is a little bit higher than CU. Moreover, the location of LA also provides good chance of finding jobs as Electrical Engineer than NYC. But the fame in whole may not be as good as CU.

I am also wondering the fields that each of these two university is famous for, as I have not decided which field I should work in (Probably embedded system or Signal and image processing or communication networks).

Thank you so much, guys.
