Do you have info about UMich's applied stat masters program?

Hi. I am now faced with a decision between UCB stat MA and UMich applied stat MA. I am planning to apply for marketing PhD after I finish my masters, so I hope this masters would act as a something like a bridge. I am on a waitlist for Chicago, which is my first pick and meanwhile I need to choose between UCB and UMich. I know that UCB has a much higher reputation in statistics, but I have heard some negative comments about the program. It is also a one year program and won't help me much with research experience. On the other hand, UMich is significantly down the rankings list, but many people say it has a strong masters program and the duration is two years. Neither has info about alumni placements and I am stuck between the two programs. Any help would be appreciated!
