@poopyhead thanks for your reply. hmmm, do you know any other sources for placement info besides the NRC and school websites? A few schools don't seem to list specific outcomes for students, and the NRC data is very out of date.

Hi all, I've been really fortunate to have been admitted to several good statistics PhD programs, and I'd like some advice on how to choose/what to look for. I know research fit, research breadth, size of the department are all important, but are there any important criteria I'm missing? How important is attrition rate/completion time/alumni placements/prestige in all this? I aspire to an academic career. Any advice would be appreciated.
