  1. TenuousAtBest I have heard from the Michigan Statistics PhD.
  2. Am I the only one that finds it hilarious that such a package even exists?
  3. Is the link different than the online application link? I also don't see anywhere to view a decision. Also, why on earth would they not send out decisions via email as soon as they are made?
  4. So far at all the places I have gotten into the funding package is almost exactly the same. Around $20-23k per year, opportunity for summer support, TA job. UW and Michigan offered "signing bonuses", which is nice.
  5. When I made decisions about what schools to apply to, I talked to several current students and graduates of multiple programs. Whenever I brought up concerns about the job market, they all pretty much laughed and said if you have a stats PhD you will be just fine. I wouldn't worry too much about market saturation. If you are absolutely convinced you want to do industry, I would recommend working for a while. You should also be just fine getting a job with a masters and you will get an opportunity to see if you are satisfied with the career opportunities you will have with a masters. I think the biggest difference is if are you interested in research or applied work. Jobs you get with a masters will likely be less theoretical and more in the line of data mining than statistics. Also, I would imagine if you eventually want a leadership role, a PhD would be a good idea.
