  1. I just want to echo what MathCat said above. You should definitely look into master's programs in Canada as well. From my research thus far on Canadian master's programs, if you choose the thesis option, you are usually funded. However, these master's programs admit mostly Canadian students. Given your fields of interest, you might want to consider master's programs at UBC, U of Toronto, and U of Waterloo. U of Waterloo has excellent master's and doctorate programs in all the fields on your list. Most top American statistics programs also have master's programs and their admissions rates are not as insane as their PhD programs. The catch is that these programs are not funded and scholarships are quite rare for master's students.
  2. http://gsas.yale.edu/sites/default/files/department-files/economics_0.pdf This was for Fall 2014. I couldn't find the statistics for Fall 2015. That could be where "776" comes from. And thanks for sharing your admissions experience.
  3. Undergraduate: the public school that's slightly better than Stanford BS EECS (EE) graduated with honors good grades on many upper-division math classes (analysis I and II, abstract algebra, linear algebra...etc) only one (calculus-based) probability class from the EECS department. Good grade too. Graduate: starting a research masters program (in business/management) this fall in a good Canadian school my new professors will probably be my referees will be taking a statistics class with regression analysis Research/Teaching Experience: none Other Experiences: 3 years as a programmer For personal reasons, I want to go on to a PhD program in statistics or management in Canada, so I will probably focus on applied statistics. I am thinking of applying to the masters programs at: UBC: I am not sure if I satisfy the entrance requirements or how strict these requirements are U of Toronto: probably out of my reach at this moment Simon Fraser: the department page doesn't really have any specific requirements York U U of Calgary My main concerns: my lack of research experience my LORs won't be saying much as my referees will only have known me for 3 months when they write the LORs. little statistics background My questions/requests: Can someone please suggest other masters programs? Can someone please tell me what I can do in the next few months to improve my chance at U of Toronto? I doubt there's much I can do, but I would like to try. If I do well on the GRE math subject test, would that help me? If I want to study probability theory, will I be better off doing a math masters instead?
