Anyone here coming to VCU biostatistics would like to connect?

From my experience, which ever PhD program you are going, it gonna be concentration to theoretical stuff (math stats, regression,...) However, if your goal wanna be in the industry, you need to consider location, famous school or well-know with people in the fields. Studying MS at Michigan may not be a bad ideas because you may choosing to just completed 2 years and then going to industry after that, you do not need to complete the PhD process. However, in the future you wanna chance your mind and want to complete PhD, Michigan PhD also really good!

I would suggest you go to Michigan, better pay off and you can decided to after 2 years, you also guaranteed PhD admission! Congrads!

Hi, Due to the pandemic, I wonder does the school will wave GRE? Thanks

Hi, I wonder do you guys have any suggestion, tips, conference, workshop,... for incoming PhD Biostatistics? Thanks

Hi, I wonder is there any website show ranking I/O department. I got an offer from University of Akron, and would like to know more about this program (job placement, faculty,...). Love to hear any feedback . Thanks

I got a financial support but I am not sure whether they sent all of the funding.

It was about a month ago. They had 13 admitted students with 4 student got offers financial support

I have not heard from them. Last week, I emailed them, but they said still under review!

does anyone hearing from PSU biostatistics?

Yup, I asked the same question and got the same answers. Will you attend to the visit day on March 6? @SomeNerd Thank you for your information, I applied TTU because I interested in one professor in department, however, Texas is not my best place to stay for over 5 years :)))

Thanks for both of advices! Right now, I am considering Denver vs VCU. Because Denver does not likely offer PhD for B.S, I got accept to Master instead. However, they said I am a top candidate for MS program so I will be receive funding and they said if I past qualify exam after my 1st year, I can move to PhD program smoothly, but not guaranty. I try to avoid to apply PhD program again,... but Denver is one of my top program....

Hi, I got accepted into some program, and try to decide to choose one, I wonder can you guys give me some suggestion? My goal is going into industry after my PhD. Texas Tech University - PhD Mathematics and Statistics (tuition + 16k/years) University of California Irvine - Master in Statistics University of Colorado, Denver - Master in Biostatistics (information financial support will come in 2 weeks) Virginia Commonwealth University - PhD Biostatistics (tuition +30k/year) University of Cincinnati - PhD in Statistics (tuition + 20k/year) University of Mississippi - PhD in Biostatistics (tuition +24k/year) I still have 6,7 programs not heard, yet. Thanks

@cl27 Hi, I wonder did you get the offer for master or PhD biostatistics in UC Denver? If PhD, do you have the master degree?

Congratulation on your offer! I wonder did you apply for statistics or biostatistics?

I got my first offer in Biostats program at VCU. What are you guys thinking about this university?

Hi, Because I will receive my B.S degree in US, I will not take the TOEFL. However, I took a lot of English and English as Second Language and received all A. Do you think this will somehow help me profiles? If not, I may consider taking TOEFL. Thanks

Yes, I got 145 for the verbal... Moreover, advance cal I is real analysis I for some other university. I tried to applied a lot because my verbal really low... Thanks
