Hi everyone,
Congratulations to those who already got offers and fingers crossed to those who are still waiting for ones! This year is my third times applying for Stat/Biostat PhD and it finally works out!
Currently I have to make decisions among the two schools:
(1) Michigan State U - Department of Statistics and Probability
(2) Iowa State U - Department of Statistics
I'm wondering if there is anyone happen to know the situations in either programs and is willing to give some insights. From the information I've collected, it seems MSU have some nice academic placements considering its rank. Also, Lansing is a larger city compared to Ames, which may be helpful for getting an intern chance (not sure about this). On the other hand, ISU has a good and traditional reputation among statistics field but it seems its rank on us news has a downward trend over the recent decade. Any advice/analysis would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I also wonder too.

How many applicants are on the waitlist of NCSU? I guess it is very large due to its size. I know I have very low odds and a kind of false hope but it makes me look forward to hearing positive response from them. This is so hard to wait.

I'm not so sure about VT, but MSU seems to have some pretty good academic placements. I've seen/met some of their PhD alumni working at decent Math & Statistics departments like Arizona State University and University of Florida. I would recommend sending an e-mail to the Graduate Coordinators of these schools asking about job placements. Any department that doesn't readily provide such information should be a red flag, IMO.

Agreed with above about MSU - I see their alums placed into good academic jobs all the time for a department that is not ranked super high.
I appreciate both! I need to find out more about them. Thank you so much and I always appreciate your information and advice.

I got offers from Virginia tech and Micigan state univ. I think vt focuses on very applied aspect and msu focuses on prob theory. Their funding offers are very similar also. Can you give me any advice about environment, department, job placement and anything else for me? I would be really appreciated it.

I guess i will get a rejection from all schools I applied. I think this is due to my institution is unknown and I am a international. I think getting an MS in math will make my profile a little bit stronger even though I have no idea which school to apply because most of deadline is over. Can you give me any advice for me?
New USNWR rankings (Stat and Biostat ranked separately)

Thank you for the information. I would like to ask opinions about the places where are not included on this list such as Georgia Tech, Johns Hopkins, UMCP or any other schools.
