| Jan 9, 2014 at 15:32 | comment | added | posdef | I'd like to chime in and point out the possibility that what you publish, or more specifically where you publish your findings, might not be entirely independent of with whom you work. That being said, I'd personally go with the person I have a better chemistry with, all in all better communication, leads to better collaboration, which in turn hopefully leads to better publication. | |

| Jan 9, 2014 at 5:54 | comment | added | JeffE | at which institution I worked rather to with whom I worked — Neither of these is the most significant bit. What matters most is what you publish. | |
| Jan 9, 2014 at 5:00 | comment | added | Noah Snyder | It's worth double-checking that you're right about which school is higher "ranked." It's common for state universities to have departments that are very highly ranked, even if their undergraduates are ranked somewhat lower than top private schools. | |
