(*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.....
