I'm a guy and will be entering the Biostatistics PhD program. If anyone's looking for roommates, feel free to message me! Looking for an apartment and 2-3 roommates.

Question about Transfer between BioStat Programs

This is extremely helpful! thx everyone
-
Thank you! This definitely helps. True, good point. I definitely want to collaborate with CS departments, so this would be a good consideration to make. Could you expand on what you mean by this about Yale? Does that stem from them being more theoretical and smaller?
-
Thanks I appreciate it! Do you think that the rankings should matter at all? (Columbia at 16 vs. Yale at 31)

I'm having some trouble comparing and contrasting the PhD programs and Yale and Columbia. Obvious things come to mind like size, location, etc., but could anyone comment on research strengths, placements, quals/time till graduation, faculty, culture? I want to go into industry after getting my PhD (open to tech, finance, healthcare, etc.). I would really appreciate any insight at all that anyone has into either (or both) of these departments. Thank you.

Has anyone else who interviewed for Johns Hopkins Biostat heard nothing back since their interview? Not acceptance, rejection, or waitlist? -

Stanford Statistics M.S., or Michigan Stat Phd?
statphd replied to Student2091's topic in Mathematics and Statistics
Personally, I'd be significantly more inclined to take the Michigan PhD, especially with that end goal in mind. A PhD will open up a lot of doors, and I've seen a lot of PhD statisticians get good placements in the Machine Learning field. Even if you do apply to more PhD programs after getting the MS at Stanford, I wouldn't expect it to make your application (too) much stronger. Whereas, as was said above, if you get a MS along the way at Michigan, it will be free, plus you'll still have similar options afterwards as you would if you get the MS from Stanford. -

Fall 2018 Statistics Applicant Thread

I got an email today as an invitation to visit Johns Hopkins Department of Biostatistics for their "departmental visitors weekend". Does this mean I have been admitted, or just that they are interested? Does this weekend serve as an interview? Would appreciate any input on this. -
In terms of comparing Yale to universities like NC State, UNC, Purdue, Columbia, Texas A&M. Every one of those universities is higher in the rankings than Yale is, but two professors told me that the rankings don't mean as much as I think they do, and that Yale is a top-notch program with incredible faculty and strong students. Wanted to get more opinions/perspectives

What are the main research focuses of the Yale Statistics Department? For someone interested in machine learning, statistical genetics, and computational methods, would it be a good fit? Any general pros/cons about the department? I know it's a small department, so wondering how its size sets its apart from other institutions (in both good or bad ways).
