Stat@Cornell

[Yo'all TC]

Hi All,

Can anybody comment on Cornell's stat department ? Its certainly one of the top univs in the country but its name doesn't seem to come up quite often when it comes to statistics. Does anybody have anything to share about the graduate program(Phd or MS/Phd) at Cornell, the admission rates etc... ?

I'm probably applying to Cornell's stat department because of the machine learning research, but I have the same question about reputation. No one I've talked to has really mentioned Cornell

Looking at the NRC rankings ( http://chronicle.com...tistics/124660/ ), Cornell stats is not too high on the S-ranking but seems to do much better on the regression-based R-rankings. So that may be important, depending on how you interpret those numbers...
