StatYHC

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!
