Hi everyone, I'm an international student and I got admission from these two programs and I don't know where to choose, so I'm seeking for advice here. I want to find a job after graduation.
biostat @Emory: biostat rank#38 overall rank#20 Rollins School of Public Health rank#6
located in Atalanta, near CDC(which might be easier for me to find an internship), about 20 students will be enrolled in MPH/MSPH program evey year. Internship and thesis are required.I think the career service in emory is better than UC-Davis.
stat@UC-Davis: stat rank#27 overall rank#38
located in Davis,CA, near San Francisco, I checked the coursers plan online and also asked student who attend there now and found that the coursers may be too theoretical, actually I want to find a program more practical and more useful for me to find a job. Besides, the secretary of this program told me that this year there will be about 45-50 students be enrolled in this program>20 students in emory, I also worry about too many people. The program doesn't require thesis.
Actually I think the statistics program is better for finding jobs than biostatistics program since the studying of statistics includes biostatistics. And I studied economic statistics as an undergraduate so I know nothing about biostatistics. Someone told me that if you don't know whether you are interested in biostatistics or not, then choose statistics..
Now I'm completely confused and I really want to hear some suggestions from you. Thank you very much!
