  1. Are there any volunteer research initiatives for statistics that one can join to help garner experience in the field? My idea was to approach MS or PHD students in stats for help with their research/projects but I don’t know if this is appropriate or feasible lol. As a result, I began searching for other ways one can help out pro bono but cannot find any. Does anyone know of any statistics related volunteer opportunities? Any help is greatly appreciated. Just an fyi this would be for later down the line when I have more stats courses/languages under my belt because right now I would not be of much use to anyone but I’m a work in progress haha.
  2. Thanks for the response. I am going to follow Shostakovich’s advice and take the math courses at a local community college and take the statistics undergraduate courses at both UC Irvine and UCLA so I can meet faculty at both. This will probably take a few years if I take only one course per semester, however, time is not a big deal (I hope) since I am giving myself 3 to 4 years.
  3. Thanks for the response. I was just wondering if the school(s) I decide to take the courses at will have a large impact. I’m located in Southern California in the OC area so I am considering UCLA or UC Irvine as they both offer a wide array of stat classes. However, I am curious if taking some courses at a local community college or perhaps another University of California or California State school will have a detrimental impact on my profile? I would like to have a strong application since I am giving myself ample time to prepare and since I feel as though I am at a disadvantage because I do not come from a mathematical background.
  4. Hello All, I just wanted to gather a few opinions on pursuing a PHD in Statistics given my background. I would like to begin a PHD program in maybe 3 or 4 years so I wanted to see what type of preparation is necessary. I have an undergrad degree in Business and an MS in Technological Entrepreneurship. The only math related courses I have taken are Quantitative Analysis for Business 1 and 2 and Business Statistics. I also conducted a research paper for my honor’s thesis in which I collected data and used multivariate hypothesis testing to find correlations between 10+ variables. To be eligible for a PHD program I was thinking I would take a few grad courses in stats as a non matriculating student and do well on my GRE. Just wondering if this would be enough or do I have no shot since I do not have a purely mathematical background. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
