My friend interviewed there and did not get a great vibe for the research of the program, so that is something to consider. Especially because they cannot guarantee that you will work with your POI (depends on numbers, if many people want the same person it might not work out). So, if you are super interested in research, would recommend going somewhere where you are guaranteed to do research with the POI. She asked if students go on to academia and the answer was largely a no.
