University of Michigan MA in Applied Statistics?

[garmungo]

Hi everyone,

 

I joined up because I recently applied to Masters programs in Statistics.  Namely, the following programs:

 

UMichigan (accepted)

UW

Stanford

UCLA

 

Stanford or UW would be my top choices, but I haven't yet heard anything from these programs, so I wanted to ask about how the UMich program stacks up.

 

I know the PhD program at UMichigan is strong, but given that this is an MA (not an MS), I'm concerned that maybe the MA in Applied Statistics at Michigan isn't as strong.  I'm interested in things at the intersection of computer science and statistics (eg. machine learning), so it SEEMS like it would be a great choice...but does anyone have any opinions/insight on this?  Namely, does anyone know if this program has the same great reputation that the PhD program does?

 

Thanks in advance!
