<p>Hey guys, I am from India and new to this forum. I need some advice on which university I should enroll to?
I have been accepted at purdue,uiuc,minnesota,penn state,rutgers,texas a&m,university of toronto
I am waiting for wisconsin madison and umich.
I want to major in applied math and statistics.</p>

<p>my favorites are :</p>

<p>applied math us news gourman rankings mean</p>

<p>purdue university 19 10 14.5
umich 11 21 16
u of wis-madison 21 5 13
u of minnesotta 5 24 14.5</p>

<p>statistics us news(2007) nrc rankings mean</p>

<p>purdue university 10 8 9
umich 12 21 16.5
u of wis-madison 12 7 9.5
u of minnesotta 20 11 15.5</p>

<p>from this i deduce that purdue is the best for stat while wisconsin madison is the best for applied math.do u agree? pls reply with any useful info. : )</p>

<p>It looks like they are all pretty good from a high level view.</p>

<p>Consider what field of application you are interested for applied math and statistics. For example, if you want to apply math to economics and finance, you may want to consider how good the economics departments are, and how math-oriented they are. If you want to apply math to computer science, you may want to consider how good the computer science departments are.</p>

<p>Some post-graduation career surveys:</p>

<p>[Purdue[/url</a>]
[url=&lt;a href=“Career Center | UMN Duluth”&gt;Career Center | UMN Duluth]University</a> of Minnesota](<a href=“Purdue CCO”>https://www.cco.purdue.edu/Alumni/PostGradIni.shtml)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, many universities do not appear to have very detailed or useful career survey results available or easily found. Here is an example of a more detailed career survey, from [California</a> Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo](<a href=“http://www.careerservices.calpoly.edu/gradsurvey/]California”>http://www.careerservices.calpoly.edu/gradsurvey/). [University</a> of California, Berkeley](<a href=“https://career.berkeley.edu/]University”>https://career.berkeley.edu/) also has a lot of useful information.</p>

<p>Ummm…with those schools, you are pretty much splitting hairs. You cannot go wrong with any of them as far as the Applied Math/Statistics areas.</p>

<p>thnks a lot for replying. i had seen the post grad survey for purdue but hadnt checked the others so thanks for that. Really helps!!Also could u tell if the 4 yr grad rate of 40% and 45% at purdue and minnesota is low? Because if say 1000 guys start in the 1st year and only 400 finish in 4 yrs thats a big risk and i cant afford to complete it in 5 yrs.</p>
