I have been accepted to two summer research programs: I can do plasma work at the University of Texas at Austin or particle physics work at University of California Davis.
I guess it would be silly to ask for advice regarding which program I should choose because I realize that they are both great schools and I alone must make the decision. But I have to make a decision fairly quickly and I guess I am not sure how to go about doing so. Anyone have advice on what important factors I should consider?
I've heard attending a summer REU at any given school increases your favorability of getting into their graduate program? How true is this? How important is the actual subject of research? I have been told that doing UG research is not a likely indicator of career path and is more about learning the research process.
