It has a designated sequencing center for NIH  at UW. The Genomic program is highly ranked and well funded. berkeley isn't really great at medical field compared to other subject and fields bc its so close to UCSF. 

Another point is just through the roof rent in berkeley area 

thanks! the designated sequencing center is something i'll have to look into. i don't do medical stuff though (my area is pop gen and evolution). does your recommendation still hold in light of that?

[2021 EEB PhD Admissions Results]

I'm considering offers from UMich (EEB), Brown (EEB), Berkeley (CCB), and UW (GS).

What would you guys do and why?

In compbio field I would chose  UW GS.

why?

[2021 Computational Biology/Bioinformatics/Systems Biology PhD Admissions]

Got into Berkeley CCB and UW GS and was wondering how people feel about these two programs. Strengths, weaknesses, recognition, difficulty, exclusivity, etc. 

[UWashington vs Berkeley vs UMich vs Brown]

UW - Genome Sciences

Berkeley - Comp Bio

UMich - EEB

Brown - EEB

Have narrowed down to these 4, waiting on acceptances from a few more schools. My interests are at the intersection of probability theory, pop gen, and evolution. Don't need to get too deep into the research side of things as I pretty much have a good idea of that. Not so sure about other facets of of these programs. Looking for a 50,000 foot perspective. Thanks in advance to everyone!
