[Biostat: UW vs Upenn?]

Eh, I wouldn't really draw conclusions from those few data points (yale and brown biostats are fairly small programs). Also if you look at Penn biostats academic placements specifically, they're not amazing, only have one recent placement at CMU (from a guy who worked with Dylan Small). UW has placements pretty much everywhere.

What about the placements for the industry? I am not sure if I will eventually choose to be a faculty. Which one would be better if I want to be a data scientist in NYC after graduation?

By the way, I also want to ask about the difference between attending a statistics program and a biostatistics program. Is it really the case that a stat phd will have more choices for job-searching. Thanks!

Hi all, 

I have recently been accepted to uw and upenn's biostat Phd program. I've already been in Seattle in a few years, so I think it's not bad to change a place to live. But  I know uw has one of the top biostat programs. So I just can't make up my mind so far. I would really appreciate if anybody could come up with some advantages of one over the other. Or maybe just anything you know about these two programs. Thanks a lot!
