Xiang Zhang Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Hi, everyone. I received an AD from Chicago Msc in Statistics and an Offer from NCSU PhD in Statistics. The decision time is by April 1st. Which do you view as a better choice? My ultimate goal is PhD and perhaps pursuing a job related to data analysis. Thank you all.
kash Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 If your ultimate goal is a PhD didn't you already get into one, or did you not get adequate funding. NCSU has a great applied program i think its ranked 12th according to US news, higher if you remove biostat departments.
Messed_up_thrice Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 Presuming NCSU gave you funding, you'd be completely insane not to accept this offer (all else being equal-- you like the dept, location, faculty, students you've met, etc.)

Raleigh is a big plus to me. Many thanks!
