  1. (*v*) yeah I also hear a lot about the placement in industry of umich. Well the concern for umich is.... my advisor said they excel in genetics, but much weaker in other fields, while I do not plan to choose genetics..... Actually I also hear funding for Umich depends on professor grants, so after first two years you have to find prof for funding, which may limit direction choice... Currently UNC provides no funding info, others providing decent funding given satisfactory performance. But I hear from my professor that Biostat tend to only ensure 1~2 year department funding, while afterwards student needs to find professor for RA, which may limit direction choice.... I was wondering if that is true.....
  2. Hey this is my first post after wandering in this forum so far.... I am really stuck as to which program I should go. Definitely UW and JHU are big names, but I do not wanna just blindly head to the fame. Here are some of my thoughts: my plan is to go to industry after graduation: hear that UW tend to send grad to academia, and Duke looks to be very applied biostatistics... I dislike the rainy climate in Seattle..... I really love CA weather, and I hear North Carolina is pretty much similar; while safety around JHU also another concern.... I know genetics is promising but I have absolutely no bio background, maybe it is hard to pick up genetics I guess... I tend to choose between clinical trial and neuroimaging statistics, but maybe can explore more choices; Duke is pretty new, not much discussion found. but I am impressed by their effort put on student development through interviews and communication.... wonder if it is really a decent program and worth to go? Davis Stat seems to be bit lower in rank, but there are also great faculties like Jane and Jie. Wonder if this is a good choice compared to others.... I would really appreciate it for any advise!!
