[Choosing between University of Toronto and NC STATE for Statistics PhD]

Do you want to live in Canada or the United States after your PhD? I think they are close enough in ranking where that should be a major consideration.

Thanks so much for your advice. I prefer to return to my country after graduating. So the place of the two universities is not very important for me, what I concern about is the education quality and prestige of their programs in the world...

Hi, congrats on your admissions.

Im sorry for asking a different question in this post, but could you share your profile and when/how you heard the decision from NCSU stat (not biostat r?)?

 

I also applied to NCSU, but have not heard anything so far.

 

I will greatly appreciate your info.

Thanks in advance.

I got NCSU's offer in Apirl 2020, and defer it to 21 fall due to visa problem. I just received its updated offer last week.

Hi everyone, 

I just received the PhD offers from UoT and NCSU stats department, and I am so happy with that. However, now I am facing a difficult decision between choosing UoT and NCSU. As a international student, what I concern  more is the prestige of the two universities (since my future plan is to find a faculty position in statistics). 

Could anyone give me some suggestion on how to make this choice? Any suggestions is appreciated! Thanks so much!
