  1. Yep, that is true. Just the aim is different. I have a Master's degree. So no need for me to go to phd if I really want to go to industry. Master degree is kinda enough
  2. From their website, they have some recent PhD graduates information. Their placement rate is not low. But most of their graduates go to industry instead of academic field. And from my current school's professor, I got to know their program is kind of strange those years. They do have lots of excellent professors, but their PhD just don't wanna go to academic field or so. I mean industry is not bad, but just not what I am looking for.
  3. Their program was pretty good, that is true. But their recent placement is really not pretty good. Still cannot believe that. It seems that there are so many applicants in this year.
  4. Some professors are pretty excellent, for example, Tony Cai. But I don't think their program is comparable with Chicago's stat.
  5. I see. I received that kind of email several weeks ago. I just have a bad feeling about their program.... I still clearly remember that the admission coordinator told me to not submit any other materials that they don't require, even CV.....
  6. Upenn is best for industry track. Univ of Chicago has very strong Statistics program. As far as I know, their program is pretty hard. But lots of students have good publication with advisor during their PhD study.
  7. Actually, for theoretical Stat, Upenn sucks. If you want to do Bayesian related work, you may consider Duke actually
  8. If you want to do the theoretical statistics or probability, Univ of Chicago is the best choice.
  9. It's weird. But their program does recruit only few new PhD in each year.
  10. Anyone got phone interview request from UC Davis, Statistics PhD program?
  11. Actually, I am not US resident or green card holder neither. But sometimes, I feel it is normal to have higher standards for international students. Otherwise, that could be viewed as unfairness for domestic students.
  12. It's really hard to say. I would like to say sometimes, letters are pretty important. If a distinguished professor wants to give you letter, then you will get much better chance. Sometimes, you do get good letters from excellent professors in your own country, but the admission committees may not know those professors well. Similar reasons for other materials. Also basically, I believe the educational system may be quite different. For example, in US, for undergraduate and/ or master students, it is really hard to write papers or collaborate with professors. Sometime, you may help professors to do some simulation studies, and they pay you money, and your name won't appear on the paper, but those experiences are beneficial for their applications, even though they don't have their own papers. I hope those make sense to you.
  13. I know that OSU statistics is not such kind of program. But in US, few stat programs indeed don't provide financial aid at first. But after you finish the qualify exam, then they will provide financial aid... That sucks
  14. No, I didn't apply this program. I just saw lots of invitations reported on the result page. I don't think their program is large enough to accept so many new PhD anyway.
  15. Yep, their chair is working on Spatial statistics.
