Specialties of Top PhD Programs (Statistics/Biostatistics)

[TrynnaDoStat]

I am compiling a spreadsheet with the intended purpose of assisting those who are applying to PhD programs in statistics and/or biostatistics. At the moment, I am working on listing the specialties of each program. This can be as general as Theoretical vs. Applied or something more specific such as Longitudinal Data Analysis. I am going to do my own research on which schools have which specialties, but I would like to hear from this forum as well.

Of course, when the spreadsheet is completed, I would be more than happy to share it with the forum.

Here are the schools I am interested in:

Stanford

Berkeley

Harvard

University of Chicago

University of Washington

Carnegie Mellon

Texas A&M

Thanks for your reply.

There are so many views but only one reply. I find it interesting that so few people know the specialties of these top schools.

Texas A&M is heavy into biostats
