[Stats PhD] Wisconsin v. Hopkins v. Columbia

[calbear13]

I have full funding at wisconsin (with biostatistics degree option), fellowship at JHU (AMS program), and waitlisted for fellowship at columbia.

I'm really hoping I get off the waitlist at columbia as that will make my decision easy (I know it's the lowest of the three on the rankings, but placement is ridiculously amazing) - if not, any thoughts on where I should go?

I like the idea of being able to focus on coursework with a fellowship, but I feel wisconsin may be more respected in academia since it is a pure stats program of high caliber research. At the same time, I still don't quite know if I want to go into academia or industry after my PhD...

Any advice from you wise sages out there would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
