I'd say NYC or San Francisco - as someone who's spent time in both Boston and Chicago, Boston is significantly more expensive both in terms of rent and in terms of literally everything else.

Ohhh gotcha. Thought you were talking stats. EDIT: I wonder who the faculty are besides Dr. DeLong.

Weird. I would've thought most people would know about their PhD program because of its strength in Bayesian statistics, but not about their master's, which is relatively new.

You won't curse Father Winter for five months out of the year when it's below freezing. That's a plus.

If it's biostats, the recruitment weekend begins tomorrow, but you're definitely not out of the running. EDIT: Until you receive a rejection. Many schools do "rounds" of admission, from what it seems like. UNC's deadline wasn't until recently though, so the weekend was only extended to those who applied earlier than the deadline.

Hopkins at least requires measure theory for all PhD students.

Ohh, gotcha.

For biostatistics Hopkins is generally considered to have a stronger department than Minnesota...from what I've gathered, anyway.

I thought UNC released their biostatistics results about a month ago. At least that's when the invites went out to their recruitment weekend...

Absolutely no clue, but the weekend was great. Everyone at the department was really friendly.

I'm just spending the time there (getting in Thursday early afternoon) and heading out on Sunday (spending the night with a friend after the event ends). Are you a current student there or something?

Were any of you guys at the Harvard or Hopkins events? In any case, I'll be at the UNC event as well. Hope to meet you there. EDIT: I'm also flying in from Boston. Maybe we'll be on the same flight!

I just got a rejection from Washington as well (sent an hour or so ago); really bummed. Does anyone happen to know when the Harvard, Hopkins, and UNC timelines are, or what the size of admitted classes are? Also, I know that Harvard and Hopkins interview applicants...does anyone have information on how that goes (i.e., what percent of candidates extended interviews are then extended offers)?
