I am also applying to Cornell MPS, but not too much info yet. I have emailed someone in the department and she said they will release offer throughout April. So dont worry and lets wait and see

Hi guys, I get my MS Biostats offer from Yale U, but I am really struggling to make decisions. My ultimate career goal is to work in some business industry where I can use linear regression, time series analysis (such as consultant, business analyst, data analyst, statistical analyst etc) after the master study. I have seen some job placements of MS Biostats students and most of them either go phd in biostats or medical research companies which are not my interests. However, some of my friends suggest me to go Yale and they said that it would be easy to get an analyst job with Yale on your resume even if it's MS Biostats degree. So I am super confused about how to choose. Can anyone tell me if it's easy to get a consultant / analyst job after obtaining a MS degree in Biostats (from Yale)? ps: I am also applying to MS Statistics in U of Chicago, Northwestern, Duke, and Cornell. U of Chicago have put me on the waitlist but no info from other schools. Thanks!!
