UCLA theory vs PSU theory

Both groups are amazing. Better theory groups than Berkeley or Harvard, if you ask me.
But UCLA and PSU are very different theory groups. You'll easily find people who would say the groups rank UCLA>>PSU, and you'll easily find people who would say the groups rank PSU>>UCLA.

for my tastes psu is better for theory than ucla. it really has an incredible group and great advising. i would default towards ucla due to its wider coverage and higher general rank but if you have particular interests well matched by psu and are fully committed to theory i could see it rationalized
