I agree...I left Dartmouth in all of 2 weeks from their grad school b/c it wasn't what i wanted (and it was a repeat of undergrad...i don't mean to insult anyone, but isn't grad school suppose to be harder).

Why not consider working in the "real world" for a bit before you decide on your choice of graduate study? That would give you a better feel for what you want to do with your life and thus drive a better more informed decision on graduate school. You could easily jump into graduate school and study a field that turns out is not all that interesting to you later.----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin Bronder" <Justin_Bronder () umit maine edu>To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 12:22 AM Subject: Graduate School Advice Greetings, I've been lurking around the bugtraq list for quite a while and in this time I've found that I was indeed correct in my assumption that my interest in computer science lay within the world of security assessments and cryptology. As I will be graduating with a degree in mathematics in December, I've realized that I've put off my research into graduate programs in New England and in the OR, WA area perhaps a bit too long. This being said, I'm hoping that a few of you who have 'made it' in these fields could impart unto me a bit of advice about various schools and programs in these regions that I might look into. If this message is too off-topic, I apologize, however I could not think of a better forum within which to ask for such advice, the professors at my university are a bit unhelpful. A few of the schools I'm considering include: UW, Portland State, UMass Amherst, SUNY Stony Brook, MIT, Northeastern, UC Boulder, Boston University, and my home university of UMaine (where I'd probably stay within the m athematics department and work with those specializing in number theory).
