Thank you kalgrey! This information was very helpful.

Hello! I have applied to multiple Statistics and Biostatistics Ph.D programs and have begun hearing back (either admission or interview) from some of the programs! Though I know it is still early in the process and I don't need to decide on a program until the spring, I would love a bit of advice regarding my decision. Currently, I have been admitted into the University of MN Biostatistics Ph.D Program and received full funding + stipend (huge relief). I am very excited about this program and the work they are doing. However, I have an interview with Dartmouth's QBS program in a few weeks and, though I know I have not yet been admitted, I am curious how it stacks up against some other large institutions. I know it is a fairly new program and does not appear in most Biostats program rankings. However, it seems like they are conducting a lot of very interesting research and cultivate a great environment. Does anyone have any insight regarding this program? Is it largely unranked because it's new? Would it be much more beneficial to my future to choose a program such as the UMN? Any insight would be wonderful! Thanks!
