Oh, and I also have family in Canada. My little cousin goes to McMaster. Is it a good university?

Hey Ancalagon,
McMaster is a good school. I hope your cousin tells you good things about Ontario.
I remember you describing the family pressure you're under. And it's certainly easier to get into a PhD program when you have a masters. Maybe it might be wise to do your MA, then reapply. And when you go through this application process again, you'll be an old pro, and all the schools will be fighting over you! (You'll have to make Stern ask REALLY nicely.)
This explains why you didn't answer my question the first time. You don't know if you will be moving yet.
I'll be watching to see what you decide... Whatever you end up doing, I know your family will be proud of your success.

Thanks Kee (mum)

I have heard that University of Western Ontario is one of the best universities of Canada !!

I am just waiting for some more decisions to come. If nothing is appropriate then I will try and do my MS in information science from one of the top schools of India. That would give me the necessary leverage to apply to a good school. And in 2 years, I can build a dedicated profile towards the entire applications process.

Umm, a PhD from UCSC wouldn't be bad but I keep hearing conflicting reports about the school. Moreover, we have a warped perception of rankings and after family in top schools, I am expected to get into one of them.

Lets see, nothing is finalized yet. I still have the time to decide.

He's retired until he hears back from UCSD. No more news yet. He still wishes everybody the best.
