Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could speak about the social life as a graduate student at Yale. I am currently split between Michigan Ann Arbor and Yale. I studied as an undergrad exchange student at Ann Arbor and I absolutely loved it and it seems that nothing beats it. Even my Biostats dept. at Michigan is larger and people are friendly and graduate students seem sociable. (I am at a point where I want to find a serious partner so the opportunities to meet people are important) Where as for New Haven, I have been told and I observe that it is not like Ann Arbor. What is the social life like at Yale? My mental health is an extremely important factor that will contribute to the success of grad school.

OMGGGG CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!! By the way, it seems that they are sending out early acceptance this year! P.s. Also for Michigan, one person got an offer this past Monday but he was the only one, and then myself and the rest received our offers on Wednesday. -

OMG I totally get what you mean. But sometimes I was thinking that..."wait only one school approves of my experience and background?" Haha I was kinda regretting for not applying to CMU but then I heard that it's pretty applied and I am glad that I got an offer from Yale, most of the professors from which have backgrounds and research experience in Bayesian statistics. If I go there, at least I won't have much arguments with them...XD -

Did you apply to Michigan too buddy? Did they ever give you a phone call discussing about your profile etc? I don't know if I should feel unfair...but like I already have three strong recommendations from University of Toronto and Statistics Canada, and they still want a fourth one from their home university... -

I've been seeing a few Biostats MS from Michigan, which makes me anxious. One of the faculty who was reviewing my profile previously called and said that they were positive with everything and wanted me to give them a Michigan reference who taught me last semester. I am wondering if I should email him back to check up on my status or if I should wait? I know the decisions will probably come out in two weeks...just hate the waiting game. -

I was a Fulbright Canada fellow at Michigan last semester and fell in love with Ann Arbor. I just haven't had enough hahaha. Plus both of its biostats and stats program are outstanding! But now that I got into Yale...I guess I am dragged away to Yale ...
