Which university has the best Statistics Ph.D. program?

Which US university has the best Statistics Ph.D. program? I've already checked US News for their rankings, so I'm actually looking for some other perspectives.
Tip for best answer: M$0.00

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Stanford, University of California at Berkeley, University of Pennsylvania, and Ohio State University.

Ohio State University is pretty good, but it isn't the best. I just came from there. I was in the math department, which is separate from the stats department. Ohio State has consistently ranked up there in statistics, and is good at graduating students, which is actually the MOST important part of a graduate school.

I used to agree with that. Then I went to grad school. Generally I've found that if you have two schools that are almost tied to you, it's better to go to the one that graduates the most students on time. This is especially true in statistics. Most of my advisors, as well as my fellow classmates, have agreed with that. Honestly, it's the thing that seems most irrelevant now, but in the end, when you're actually there in the middle of the muck, it becomes extremely relevant.

I would think MIT has a stellar statistics program; probably pretty hard to get into.

MIT has no real statistics department. They have some people who do statistics in the business scholl, but certainly do not have an important / significant department

Stanford, UC Berkeley, U Michi, NCSU, UNC Chappel Hill, U Columbia,Purdue, Rutgers, Duke , Cornell, Harvard

this is what most of the ranking websites gives.

But choice also depends upon area of interest.

Stanford and UC Berkeley are consistently the best in the world. MIT does not even have a statistics department, but some professors in mathematics and OR departments are doing statistics research.
