Thanks a lot for your reply! I have emailed the coordinator to ask.

Hello all, I am an international student who took GRE on Oct 2009. I am applying for Fall 2014 Stat/Biostat. I have obtained my MS degree in US. I am wondering whether my score is still valid for the application. I saw some of the schools require the score no older than 4 or 5 years old. So how they determine the expiration date of the GRE score? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply, cyberwulf. Do you think biostat in UIowa or Boston within the reach? Thank you very much!

Thanks for reply. Actually I mean a MS degree in Stat (possibly a MA degree) when I already have one...

Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I have a question about duplicate degree and profile evaluation. I am an international student. I have obtained my MS degree in a decent Biostat program (I guess top 30) in US. I am preparing for applying PhD program in Biostat or MS program in Stat since I'm really interested in Statistics stuff. Here's a brief background of myself: Undergraduate: Biology major (this may be a weakness) in a large, but may not well-known foreign school. GPA: 3.5+ GRE:570+800, 4 analytic writing (old score, still valid within 5 years) Graduate (MS): Biostat major in a decent private school in US. GPA: 3.95 GRE Math sub: taken, possibly over 85%. Courses taken: Caculus, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory, Statistical Inference, Regression Analysis, Stochastic Processes, Genetics However, not take Real Analysis which is very important in PhD application, I guess. Research experience: possibly one paper in application area submitted(first author), one collaborative paper submitted. I am wondering is there any chance I can get into some top schools for PhD program in Biostat, like UNC, UW? Also I will apply to some tier2 schools, such as UIowa, UPitt, Emory etc. Also I am considering apply for some MS program in Stat, like UW. I am wondering whether it count as duplicate degree (two same MS degree)? Or should I consider some program(stat concentration) under Math Department? How big is my chance for MS programs in top schools? If I am admitted in MS program, I will take some theoretical courses for future PhD study. Thanks in advance for your help!
