Notes:

My main dilemma rn is that as an int’l student (Asian, not Indian/Chinese), immigration benefit is one of my factors of consideration.
l'd like to know:
• in my situation, which one would you choose and why?
• if I choose Vanderbilt, what would my options to immigrate to Canada later if US doesn’t work out? On vice versa if I choose UofT?

Do you have any specific preferences for either program, regarding fit, etc? Vanderbilt will provide opportunities in the South, more so. Is your preference to be in the US, in the long run, or Canada, in the long run? (0)
