Please Help, Choices for Summer Research

[DFlint]

Hello All!

 

Asking for advice here, I've been accepted to two really awesome summer programs and I can't decide between them. I really am not intending to brag or anything silly like that, I'm just asking for advice.

 

The Programs Are:

The Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Neuroscience Program

 

Mayo Graduate School's Summer Research Program

 

I think they're both great programs and I can't decide where to go! The former is significantly tougher to get into (10% vs 2% acceptance rates) and might be a slightly cooler research program but I worry that the latter has greater name recognition.

 

Thanks,

Dflint

If you think that the Howard Hughes program would be cooler, go for it. Don't worry about whether or not the adcoms will recognize the name.

You think people won't have heard of HH Institute? Don't worry about it.
