sidneysamson Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Could someone give some insight on the differences between the two programs. I'm excited about attending either program but I haven't seen any significant differences between the two besides the fact that Berkeley's weather is way better than the cold of Madison, Wisconsin (I currently live in Madison so I'd know...).

bikingrules Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I guess it depends on what area of Statistics your are interested in, but Berkeley seems to have a much better reputation in most areas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidneysamson Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm probably going to Berkeley in all honesty even though I really like Madison (as a town too). New experience and it's kind of hard to beat Berkeley... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5151 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Are you serious? I would say, among major stats areas, UCB is always better, ignoring the reputation itself. And its location might be better if you want to find job in industry such as IT/Bio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinnumberwrong Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 What about quantitative finance? Thinking about that field as well. what about it? Quantitative finance uses statistics but it's not considered an 'area' in statistics. quantnet.com has your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
