Thank you both! This is extremely helpful advice and information!

I think it depends on what you think you might want to do after your PhD. If you want to stay in academia then, at a topical level, Baylor has a stronger reputation for research. If not, then its important to look at what services the schools provide you with respect to career development. Apart from that, if the research fit is good for you at both places, think about which place you would be happier living in, and where you want to build your network.

I am having trouble deciding between a few school's Biomedical Science PhD programs and would appreciate any insights people may have about these programs relative to each other:

UW-Seattle

Northwestern DGP

U of Michigan PIBS

Somethings I am curious about are

1. Placement after graduation
2. Research quality and breadth
   1. I am not completely sure what I want to study but am interested in virology, microbiome research, and genomics
3. Environment and culture of program
4. Interaction with and quality of other students
5. Reputation/Quality of life

Some more background info:

• Interested in industry after PhD in Biotech, Biopharma, or even Life Sciences Consulting/Investing
• Already completed undergrad at UW- should I go to another school so it doesn't look like I just wanted to stay in the same place all my life?
