CS vs Stats vs Applied Math vs OR+ profile evaluation
Funkoverload replied to jdoe192's topic in Mathematics and Statistics
very impressive spec. how do you think of econ phd? you can still do everything in there (econometrics theory or application or math econ or other applied econ areas and so on...) -
I am an international student and planning to go back to my country at the end of the coming January. Do you think I can substitute the onsite interview with the telephone (Skype) interview? Any of your opinions would be appreciated!

english literature has nothing to do with biostat. biostat requires math + stat/biostat + a couple of related biology backgrounds + research experience and paper + programming skills. these are the major factors for potential students to survive in the program! even if you will get admitted into the phd program, you would need to spend a couple of years on coursework. however, your background will be very very suitable for epidemiology phd.
-
i believe you spent about 1 semester for stat/math in your life. very weak preparation. how were you interested in biostat in a very short time period?
-
not impressive coursework yet all. sorry. your preparation is not very good for biostat. you have very good so many redundant backgrounds.
-
Luxembourgish, German, French would be redundant.
-
your gre scores are just fine and you will never fail due to your gre scores. how about your math spec? have you ever taken any upper level math courses such as real analysis, measure theory, measure based prob theory? or some computational stat/biology courses?
-
i guess it will be very hard to get admitted to harvard biostat phd. they will prefer peking math or stat majors to you.
-
your background and preparation are still so good. I believe you will get at least one admission from schools you will apply for. However, your previous majors are not perfectly suitable for biostat phd i guess. biostat is quite a statistics program not biology. how do you think of adding some biology phd programs?

MS Biostats with weak math background
Funkoverload replied to hopeful_app's topic in Mathematics and Statistics
For master's degree, your background is very good, but for PhD, I would recommend epidemiology programs more. -
Statistic PhD profile evaluation
Funkoverload replied to wzsamd's topic in Mathematics and Statistics
Excellent spec! Duke(Stat, Bayesian, Big department), Texas Austin(Stat, Bayesian), Yale(Stat or Biostat) would be also good candidates. -
Statistic PhD profile evaluation
Funkoverload replied to babyorange's topic in Mathematics and Statistics
Your background is good but finance PhD programs will suit your preparation better. UC Santa barbara stat phd would also be a good fit. Or go to economics phd and study econometrics. -
It is getting more and more competative and many of top stat/biostat programs have less than 5% acceptance rate. You may check Northwestern stat webpage for application statistics. I am an applicant for stat/biostat phd program but doubtful why so many good mathemticians and statistician are seeking stat/biostat programs. Bussiness phd degrees even in a very low ranked school will double your salary and you can still enjoy high level math/stat skill sets in there if you want.

Any chance of a Math Ph.D?
Funkoverload replied to quantumpencil@gmail.com's topic in Applied Sciences & Mathematics
How do you think of PhD programs in Business? They require very high background in Math and your actuary background might be a plus. -
Statistics Ph.D. - Please help evaluate chances
