I'm an American. I was accepted to both universities to do a PhD in education. Originally Edinburgh was my number one but I've connected more with the advisors at Glasgow but I'm having a hard time hitting the reject button on the offer for a higher ranked uni that was my original number 1. I've never actually been to Glasgow but fell in love with Edinburgh on multiple trips there.
I've read that advisor compatibility is the number one thing to aim for and just looking for confirmation that that's accurate.
