    Hi @bayessays thanks for the valuable info. I probably prefer UCLA over the other two schools. what would you say the advantages of going to Penn State and TAMU over UCLA. If it’s not too much bother could you help me list the pros and cons of each school, I’m trying to be really careful. I know UCLA has better weather but when I search up UCLA statistics on the gradcafe, I have read some negative things about it. In one thread UCLA vs Penn State, a poster said Penn State hands down. Someone said the department was “poorly run” but this post was back in 2013-2014. Have things changed since then?

    @Stat PhD Now Postdoc thanks, i looked through before for professors that could act as potential advisors. i'll look again since it was awhile ago. Generally, how would you compare the three schools in terms of professor placement. Doesn't seem like many students from UCLA place in tenure track positions., which is my worry.

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to get a comparison between UCLA's PhD Statistics program, Penn State's Statistics PhD Program, and Texas A and M's PhD program. Would really appreciate any thoughts on which program, people think is best to go to. Are Penn State and Texas A and M objectively "better" because they are higher ranked than UCLA? I'm split whether I want to do go to industry or academia after graduation. Are Penn State and Texas A and M better places to go to for landing a tenure-track position at let's say a top 40 statistics program? Would it be hard, graduating from UCLA's PhD program to land a professor job. Again, I'm split on whether going to industry or being a professor. My research interests also lie in probability, machine learning, markov chain theory, stat learning. Which school is best for this? ucla seems to have good machine learning courses. I'm particularly interested in markov chain theory.

    Hopefully everything works out for the best! Anyone heard from Columbia IEOR today?

    @wishyourofferscoming @itheproofofstupidity Do you guys think all of the admits have been sent out for Cornell or just “round 1”. I saw only 1 admit on the admit page. Thanks.

    @itheproofofstupidity Thank you for the valuable info, really appreciate it!

    @itheproofofstupidity I did not apply to Berkeley. Seems like GA Tech went out today. didn't receive anything.
  8. ducky500
    @theduckster unfortunately, rejected as well.
  9. ducky500
    @itheproofofstupidity Very sorry to hear that. I'm sure you will receive good news for the rest of the week!
  10. ducky500
    @Birdyy same, very disappointed....didn't receive anything from Cornell.
  11. ducky500
    @StuartLittle thanks. I applied to mostly purdue, davis, wisconsin range.
  12. ducky500
    @StuartLittle What do you think Yale looks for. I thought i had an okay shot, went to a top 20 school, took a bunch of grad math courses during undergrad and high gpa. this makes me nervous for all the schools i applied to that i haven't heard from.
  13. ducky500
    Hi @itheproofofstupidty, when do you think Cornell and GT will come up? Next week or the week after maybe? so nervous
  14. ducky500
    Thanks for the encouragement @StuartLittle. I just realized that I never uploaded fall grades, should I have done this although they never specifially sent me a separate email about it.
  15. ducky500
    @StuartLittle Were the people who visited applying for MA in Statistics or was it mostly PhD? If I have not received anything does it mean most likely rejection?
  16. ducky500
    Has Yale already given offers for MA in Statistics? I saw an acceptance today. I thought I would have a decent chance for masters sigh. thanks.
  17. ducky500
    I saw some acceptances for PhD IEOR Columbia. Will these be all the admits, or do you think the admits will be done in waves? Also, if anyone who has been admitted to this program, could you share a brief profile/stats? Thanks.
  18. ducky500
    @Cavalerius I have not heard anything from texas a and m . I applied on January 10th.
  19. ducky500
    hopefully! congrats on the offer!
  20. ducky500
    @orchidnora @sicdrag when did you guys apply to Texas A&M, if you don't mind me asking? Didn't hear anything, pretty bummed.
  21. ducky500
    @Stat PhD Now Postdoc thanks. i would probably prefer a program that has strong placement for statistician/data scientist jobs at google/facebook/amazon, etc.
  22. ducky500
    Thanks, @Stat PhD Now Postdoc how would you say the program compares to other state universities such as Wisconsin's PhD Statistics, Penn State's PhD Statistics, NC State's PhD Statistics, UCLA,?
  23. ducky500
    Thanks @data_scrub will definitely check out.
  24. ducky500
    Hi, I was wondering if anyone was familiar with Illinois Urbana Champaign's PhD Statistics Program, if they could comment on how strong the department is (in particular the strengths and weaknesses of the department) and how the program compares to other state universities such as Wisconsin's PhD Statistics, Penn State's PhD Statistics, NC State's PhD Statistics, UCLA,? Thank you very much.
  25. ducky500
    Thanks guys. How would you say Iowa State does as far as academic placements? Also although not mentioned in the title of thread, do you have any opinions on University of Florida's Program?
