This one I heard hasn't graduated yet, this is why I am so impressed. UPenn allows students to do internship. Heard this student got a return offer after internship. He works on single cells and uses deep learning a lot for his dissertation work which might have helped.
UPenn seems to place students in industry jobs very well. Heard they have a recent student who got an offer from Amazon that is over >310K per year. That is the highest that I've ever heard.
I have no experience with genetics, but I know people who does genetics at UPenn Biostats and seems pretty happy. They seem to work on cool problems in single cells and use machine learning a lot. I was so disappointed that I didn't get in.
I applied to UPenn, but was rejected ? I really liked their lab rotations. I was uncertain about what to study so their lab rotations is a huge draw to me, but unfortunately I didn't get in.
