Thank you both for replying! I'm at a low-tier Cal State. I agree that it's hard to get admitted as an international student. I applied two years ago, but I didn't get in anywhere for a PhD. Thank you and I will look into UCSB and UCR. Thank you cyberwulf! I know you are a Biostats person. Are there any biostats programs that may suitable for me? I do prefer to stay on the West Coast, however, getting in a phd program is more important at this point.

I know it is a little bit too late during the season, but could anyone give me some advice? Thanks a lot.

Hi, I am an international student applying for Statistics PhD fall 2013. Undergraduate: California State (BA Applied Math; BA Economics) 3.71/4.0 Graduate: same as undergraduate (mathematical modeling) 4.0/4.0 GRE: Q 800 / V 700 I participated in one summer REU (I did not get funded by NSF due to citizenship issue, but the paper got published last year.) Also, I've been working as a graduate student/RA on my advisor's grant for almost two years, and my graduate thesis is on time series analysis. I'm currently teaching a 3-unit math class as a graduate lecturer. I'm interested in time series and so far my list is: UW, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, CSU Fort Collins, and Duke. Since I am an international applicant, I'm worried that my list is top-heavy. Can you please suggest any other schools for me? Thank you so much!
