  1. Hi everyone, just give you guys an update, I finally choose UW-Madison. I tried to contact several faculty members at UNC that I interested, but they didn't have extra funding.
  2. Thank you all so much!!! I did some research on the UW Madison after posting this thread. And yes, I think I will eventually go to UW Madison if I don't receive funding from UNC before April 15. But I'm also actively reaching out to some of the faculties of UNC to seek RA opportunities. What do you think if I do get the funding from UNC?
  3. Hi everyone, It's near April 15 now. And I still can't decide on this two programs. --- UNC pros: Higher rank in biostatistics, and better location (triangle area). I do believe UNC is more than well-regarded in this field. Does it mean their student will have better opportunities in finding academics and industry jobs? UNC cons: As an international student, I still haven't received any funding. And it looks like it has always been a problem for UNC. To me, it kills the creativity when you have to worry about money in PhD life. --- UW Madison pros: It's full-funded. The curriculum of UW Madison seems legit to me. They provide 3 course sequences in Biostatistics Theory and Methods, Computer Science, and some Specialization Topics. I really like the CS sequences, because I'm major in Statistics now, and didn't get much CS training, which I think will be of huge importance in graduate study & research. UW Madison cons: As opposed to the UNC pros, it's not as highly ranked. The location and weather are not as good I guess? And it is a new program. I literally can't find any insider's experience. There are too many uncertainties. --- Any thoughts on this two programs? Please help me, any comments or thoughts will be much appreciated. Thanks!!!
