Waiting: Harvard, UCLA

My research interests are Machine learning/Data Mining/AI/Computer Vision/Algorithms/Optimization

Any idea where should I go?
For the people that are auto-saying Berkeley, do you have a specific reason other than national ranking? Is the tuition waiver for Cornell a full or partial waiver? It seems weird that they would partial waiver tuition but give you such a large stipend. If it were/is a full waiver, I'd say to seriously consider them because their AI group is very good. Also, I know from another thread that Cornell accepted you waaaay early, and has only just now finished sending out all their acceptances, so it would seem to me that they really want you and it never hurts to feel wanted.

Edit: is the stipend for Cornell renewable? If not, then obviously Berkeley on the grounds of being fully funded.

Edit again: 4 years of fellowship from Berkeley? Really?! Not like, one year fellowship and 4 total years guaranteed funding?
