    DEFINITELY, and I don't regret it (I submitted my decision early this morning ha!). I made a list of three objective arguments, plus it just clicked for me . Anyway, honestly I think any of the two schools would have been a great place, no doubt.

    I've just declined three offers, hopefully freeing some spots for those on the waiting list. Sorry it took me so long, but it wasn't easy.
    I wish you all the best in your graduate studies, may you all have so much fun with your research

    What matters for academic placements is your publication record and your advisor, so going to a program with lots of good, active professors is your best bet. NCSU is more consistent in having a high quality of professors like this.  Do you have any examples of recent ISU grads getting academic positions? Maybe they do! A guy from 2014 is a Prof at Colorado State. A post-doc is not comparable to getting a faculty job. The first professor I just looked at at NCSU (Ghosal) has placed grads in tenure track positions at Rice and UCI just in the last five years - that's one professor.  Again, ISU is a fine program, but I don't think it's got the consistent quality of faculty that NCSU has.

    Looks like somebody in the Survey heard back from Cornell University.

    Hey. Was talking about PhD statistics. I mailed them last week to know the status where they informed me that they are still in process of reviewing the applications and expect to post the results on their portals by the first week of March.

    Why is the yield for NCSU so low? Why would they get declined so often? They rank 10 (tied) in the last US News Rank, their stipend is competitive (USD 18k for nine months), the city/weather looks fine.
    Also, haven't heard from UT Austin and TAMU, but you did. Guess I'm informally out of the game for them.
