Hi, fellow graduate school applicants: Can someone please tell me I'm not the only one who is totally confused and lack any degree of certainty whether I'll be admitted to any school of my choosing? Ok, first of all, how many programs do you guys plan to apply? I'm thinking of 7. I think that's a respectful amount of schools to make sure I'll have at least one "yes" Also, is there a place to check a certain program's class profile/admission statistics? All I can find online is some pretty general statement, nothing specially indicates the average GPA/GRE/Work Exp of the already-in students. Lastly, herein below is my profile. What schools do you guys think are within my league? I just submitted applications to Columbia and NYU Steinhardt, but I don't know any other reputable program in Statistics. Please, any of your suggestion is highly welcomed! Oh, almost forget to add: I'm international. Although I have enough funding, will simply the fact that I'm international affects my chances? Bachelor Degree: B.A in Economics, Class of 2015 Undergraduate School: Fordham University GPA:3.57 GRE Quant: 163 Verbal: 160 Internship: 2 but totally unrelated to Statistics Group Projects: college-level Investment Pitch Competition 2nd runner-up; hypothetical M&A project in Corporate Finance class Research Experience: none Work Experience: 6 months as executive assistant in a sports ticket agency. Thanks Everyone!

Thanks, TakeruK. I've made adjustment accordingly. Really appreciate your comment:)

btw, I'm applying to the M.A in statistics program at Columbia, for now. I'm researching other statistics program i'm interested in and i'm sure i'll apply to several more.

Hi, everybody, this might be an uncommon question to ask, but I wonder if anyone in the admission's office actually call to the company you worked for to ask people's comments about you? My problem is, i've quitted months ago because of my father's sudden death and I'm currently tending my mom exclusively (meaning I'm not working). I haven't updated my resume yet so it still shows I'm working at my old company. For so many reasons I really really don't want to bring this one up on my statement of purpose. Instinctively I just want to upload my resume as it is, but I'm afraid if the admission process is crazily strict beyond my imagination that some guy may actually call my boss/colleagues to ask if I work there. Ok, i admit i'm quite paranoid, but it's worth it if i want to make my application perfect. Can anyone with admission office related work experience tell me if my concern is justified please? Thanks a million!!!!!!!
