  1. Hi people, Bad news... I screwed my application! I took GRE today and got only 740 in quantitative. Is there any chance of getting admitted with that scored? I'm considering to take it again next month.
  2. Thank you very for your help, ralphhumacho! About the number of Statistics Phd programs, that's something that I'd like to know better... do you know a web site where I can find a rank of the Phd programs? The US News gives only the top 10 programs, but I need a "longer" one. I've been studying real analysis and measure theory with my advisor for my master dissertation (I've also followed an advanced probability course, I'm studying probability theory during my master ), but it won't appear in my transcript, so that's a big problem... I'd like to study theoretical statistics, expecially extreme value theory. That's why I was thinking about Purdue. I'm also thinking about applying to Georgia University and Colorado State University. Thank you very much for you help.
  3. Thaks for you advice, ralphhumacho! Yes, I know I'll be at great disadvantage and I agree with you, I have to apply broadly. I was thinking about applying for 1 or 2 top 50 Universities, 3 - 4 between 50 - 100 and 3 - 4 above 100. Congratulations for you accomplishes! I can't believe you are not going to Purdue! Which University are you attending? What are you going to work with? You must have a very good profile. Could you please evaluate my profile and help me to find some universities where I can get admitted? Toefl : 106 (R:27 L:29 S:23 W:27) GRE: not taken yet (hoping to score between 750 - 800 in quantitative section and between 320 - 400 in verbal section). Bachelor in Physics (03/2004 - 12/2007) GPA ~ 4.5/5.0. 3 years as an undergraduate research assistant in a theoretical chemical physics lab. 1 published paper at the Journal of Physical Chemistry (2008). Msc. in Statistics(03/2008 - 02/2010 expected) GPA 5.0/5.0. I've been teaching statistics since october/2008. Courses taught: Probability and Statistics (for engineering), Fundamental of Statistics (mechanical engineering) and Probability (computer science). Graduate assistant: Assisted a professor in the probability class at Msc. level. Math courses: calculus 1,2,3 (96,94,90), linear algebra 1 and 2 (94,96), ordinary differential equations (88), partial differential equantions (80), Introduction to number theory and cryptography (80), complex variables (80), advanced calculus (summer course : C). Stat courses: probability (91), statistical inference (91), computational methods (90), generalized linear models (96), non parametric functional estimation (95), stochastic process (95), statistical methods (summer course : .
  4. Hi! I'm also going to apply for Phd programs in Statistics this year. Actually, I was about to create a topic related to that! I have a bachelour in physics, where I worked with chemical physics and special particles. Later, I started to study probability and went to study it at Ms level, which I'll be finishing this year. My application process has just begun. I didn't take the GRE yet (the General one, I'm not taking the subject), only the TOEFL test (I'm from Brazil. By the way, sorry for my English ). I'm still looking for some Universities. I'm thinking about applying to Purdue and Duke (these two would be my top ones) and some others "less ranked". I'm a little afraid about applying to top Universities, such as UPenn, Columbia, Yale, etc. I'm thinking about choosing 2 or 3 top and 4 or 5 regular. I'm also going to apply for some canadian univeristy, perhaps UBC. Does anyone know if it is hard to get into Purdue? And Duke? Both of them have a good research groups in Extreme Value Theory, what I think it is very interesting. Actually, do you guys know others departments working with that? And what about you, LINCHUXUAN? Which Universities are you considering? Have you decided? Kind Regards, Gustavo
