  1. thanks for the reply well, i get ur point abt the masters. will see how it goes. i m not getting my hopes up too high, just thought to go for it anyway yeah. grades are horrendous. didnt study back then if only i know i wld be interested to venture down this path someday...
  2. thanks for e reply will look into Pittsburgh yeap, after much evaluation n looking ard this forum's profiles, seems like i m not very competitive for stats phd as i think i wld be... guess too naive initially. hahaha. will seriously consider n look up biostats prog as well. on e other hand, do u think i have a safe chance with Duke/NCSU/UNC? or are they in the "reach" category? for biostat, my best chances would be in which tier/ranking? to score, what is the min i shld safely be scoring for GRE Q? another concern is, due to ltd places, i only managed to reg for retake on early dec. is not too late right?
  3. Thanks! Have been advised on NCS as well. Personally rather keen in it too would take a look at Ohio. Do you have anymore examples of schs that have big stats dept and less stringent on undergrad/grad GPA requirements? I think this is the general direction I should be looking at. But there are hundreds of uni out there, so any enlightenment would be great! in short, i have somewhat some exp in biostats, and hoping to do more applied stuff, but dont really wish to limit to just biostats phd, if possible. appreciate ur fb on UC Riverside. agreed w ur pov. tt's my main concern too guess not really viable. is biostats a lot less regard in industry than stats?
  4. thanks for the reply~ i'll have a look at the biostats prog too. initially was hoping to get in stats and do some biostats modules/work also :/ UC Riverside actually has an applied stats phd. any comments on that?
  5. Thanks for the reply!! Both are from my local Us that are globally quite highly ranked I supposed, from all those Times and QS rankings, and I am not from India/China. I wasnt much of eager student in my undergrad, and my interest only slowly started becoming stronger in my later part of my masters. and i m not strong in my theory. So my grades werent solids As. in fact, i only have 2 As out of 10 modules for my msc.... as to why i am aiming for straight phd instead of another masters is largely due to funding. i need full funding where possible, and masters dont provide funding from my understanding. naturally those that provide full funding for their phd students are usually those top ranked universities so u think those 5 abv are near impossible to reach, excluding UC Berkeley (i know this is to far out )? what are some other well regarded uni? i didnt really wanna do phd in a uni that is not that well recognised globally... but i know i cant possibly be much of a chooser w my profile... another thing is, since i am interested in applied, some said that biostats might be more suitable. my work exp could be considered as biostatistician i supposed. bt i wanted stats as i didnt really want to limit myself to bio. by profs, u mean stats profs or any profs? because i dont really know any stats prof per se. what i do have are profs in the research industry that i worked for. oh, and by prof, do you mean prof prof, or those associate/asst profs will be just as fine? thanks for the advice that no prior contact is needed. i didnt really have a fixed area in mind, so that would be a challenge to find so many potential profs. so is it recommended that i retake my gre? not quite sure on how big a part gre plays. those schs i aiming for, gre scores are like in the range of 166+.
  6. Hi So i just took the GRE today, and my results are horrible. I am wondering, with my profile, is it better that I retake my GRE? Also, I am interested to know and would greatly appreciate if advice could be given on my university choices. V: 152 Q: 160 AW: unknown I didnt really prepare for this GRE due to work and procrastination (ikr...). The centre was freezing didnt help much either (I came prepared but hoodie's hood was not allowed on head?!). Background: - BSc (Hons) specialised in Statistics in globally highly ranked non-US university (not 2nd upp...) - MSc in Statistics in globally highly ranked non-US university (not many As too...) - A few years working experience in non-statistics research industry - Few publication in non-statistics journals (thanks to work; i did the stat analysis for those papers) Program interested in: PhD in Statistics (interest in applied statistics/analytics/big data) Some uni that I have shortlisted/aiming for: - UC Berkeley (very slim chance i supposed) - U of Washington - Duke U - U Michigan - Texas A&M U - North Carolina State U What are some other uni I should realistically considered? Another concern is the letters. Should I submit all 3 from my non-stats related work bosses (they are all profs/post-doc)? I dont really know any of my stats profs on personal basis, so not sure if they would write a good one for me... Should I find a prof that would take me in first? My friends advised so. Thanks!!
