Hi all! My current research is in biostatistics. But I'm open to conduct future research in both biostat and stat. Emory: great location; generous funding support; more applications in biomedical/health related fields; most graduates go to pharm/tech, may not be advantage to going to academia UIUC: large stat department covering most stat research topics; strong faculty; opportunities to work with CS/IE people; may have advantages to go to tech or academia Some people said stat phd is better than biostat phd at the same level since stat phd will have more options after graduation. Some said biostat is a little easier to learn and publish papers since it focuses more on applications. Could someone please help me out here? Which program would you choose? More information is welcome! Thank you
