Undergrad Institution: Large State School, Top 20 for Applied Math and Pure Math (not ranked for Statistics though) Major(s): Math Minor(s): GPA: 3.79 (3.97 in-major) Type of Student: Domestic Asian Male GRE General Test: Q: 170 (98%) V: 159 (~80%) W: 4.0 (~59%) GRE Subject Test in Mathematics: M: N/A Programs Applying: PhD Statistics Research Experience: 1. Created photovoltaics research project. 2. Worked with theoretical ecology post-doc on campus. Presented at out-of-state conference. 3. Did some bioinformatics at REU. Presented at two out-of-state conferences. Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Campus-wide research award, Dean’s List, a bunch of scholarships Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Former president of math honor society. Letters of Recommendation: Just my research mentors from three different research projects. One is a fairly new professor. One is director of lab group. One is director of research lab. None have any relation to the statistics world, which may have hurt me (oh well). Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: Did an REU at two of the schools that I’m applying to (don’t know if that counts as “connections”). Also, I’ve only taken three prob/stat classes, so I may have a weaker foundation than some other applicants.
