I'm applying to stats PhD programs (there are a few still taking applications) and just discovered this website.
Profile:
White male at a state flagship (top 100)
Undergrad:
Major: Mathematics (concentration in mathematical statistics)
Minor: Computer Science
GPA: 3.5
Grad:
MS in Applied Statistics
GPA: 4.0
I'm doing both degrees simultaneously (it's a 5 year BS/MS program but I'm finishing in 4).
Courses: Calc 2 ( , Intro. Linear Algebra (A), Calc 3 ( , Discrete Math (A), DiffEq ( , Numerical Linear Algebra (A), Data Structures and Algorithms ©, Software Engineering ( , Probability ( , Numerical Analysis (A), Regression (A), Real Analysis (A), Stochastic Processes ( , Mathematical Statistics undergraduate I&II (A & A), Machine Learning (A), Multivariate Analysis (A), Data Mining (A), SAS Programming (A), Mathematical Statistics graduate (A)
Languages: Python, R, MATLAB, SAS, Java
GRE: 157V 165Q 4W
Research: 1 summer REU in computational math, 2 projects with an EE professor (machine learning for medical informatics and a natural language processing project) with papers in progress/being submitted to conferences.
Internship: with a government contractor where I wrote statistical software (R/Python) and worked on a few bioinformatics projects.
Letters: EE research professor who wanted me to join our phd program and continue working in his lab, academic adviser with whom I've taken two graduate statistics courses and mentioned that I am one of the stronger students she's seen in a while, and statistics professor from whom I received A's in two graduate statistics courses during my junior year of undergrad.
I'm interested primarily in computational statistics and machine learning (ideally biomedical applications but I'm not picky).
A few of the programs currently still accepting apps:
West Virginia (Computational Statistics)
San Diego State (Computational Science, concentration in Statistics)
George Mason (Computational Learning)
Virginia Tech (track in Computation)
Colorado State
University of Texas at San Antonio
