Thank you, statscan9, for your invaluable info. Since UBC Stat website says it has funding offered to graduate(MSc/PhD) students by way of RA/Ta-ship, I thought there is a chance of my getting funding there. The only drawback of UoT Stat MSc is that it is only a 1-yr program. I believe it's too short for me to prepare for finance/accounting phd there.. Thanks anyway! Thanks again for your kind replies, footballman2399. I know I'm an international student graduating from a foreign institution, but would a us citizenship increase the chance of my getting funded(thru RA/TA-ship)? or would I just be considered as a usual international student? I'm sorry for asking too specific a question, but since I'm a dual citizen, I'm curious. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! One more question: would it be a long shot for me to apply to UMich applied stat ms, UIUC stat ms, and Penn State stat ms? I'm not sure if they offer fundings for ms students but a try wouldn't hurt me..

Hi, I have been searching for the funded ms programs in statistics, preferably in us and canada. My terminal goal is finance/accounting phd, so I expect that ms degree in stat would serve as a bridge to those phd admissions.. Anyways, I would appreciate an evaluation of my profile for this fall 2018 application season, and any tips/advice offered. If you have more info on funded ms programs, please let me know, thanks! Undergrad/grad Institution: Seoul national university(korea) Program: Bachelor of business admin., BA econ, BS stat. (triple degree) Graduate program: ms in finance/accounting GPA: 3.97/4.3 (3.85/4.0) Type of Student: Domestic(us citizen) Asian Male Courses: -Math Calculus for Business A+ Calculus I A- Linear Algebra I A- Intro to Linear Algebra A0 Intro to Mathematical Analysis A0 (textbook: Rudin, PMA) Numerical Linear Algebra A0 Real Analysis(undergrad) A0 (textbook: Folland) -Stat Intro Stat A0 Stat Lab A+ Intro Prob(calc based) B0 Regression Analysis A0 Design of experiments B+ Mathematical Statistics I/II B+/A+ Data Mining A- Survival Analysis A0 Time Series Analysis A+ Sampling Design A0 Statistical computing B+ Econometrics(offered by econ dept.) A0 GRE: V164(94%) Q169(97%) W4.5(82%) I wouldn't take subject math. Research Experience: none.. Research Interests: not determined yet.. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Undergraduate scholarships, AP scholar award(high school..) Letters of Recommendation: To be decided, maybe ones from survival analysis, regression analysis, time series analysis prof. and possibly one from econ dept. Concerns/Questions: How bad is the B0 in Intro Prob? I know it's irreversible but I'm just worried. I'm also concerned that my stat gpa is not so outstanding: few A+ in stat and no A+ in math. Would A0 in real analysis compensate the mediocre grade in stat major? Schools of Interest: University of Iowa Iowa State University Ohio State University U Wisconsin-Madison UBC - are there any other funded ms stat program? any comments would be appreciated!
