  1. Columbia and UCLA are safeties for stats? Do you know a reasonable estimate of the acceptance rate for the safety schools you listed?
  2. Hi, You wrote this a couple of years ago. Would you say that it still holds that the SOP is not a huge factor in admissions?
  3. What programs guarantee funding for MS admissions? Thanks
  4. Ahh I see thank you. Yea that was a mistake not categorizing Emory as a reach. Do you have any suggestions for safeties?
  5. Hi everyone, I would really appreciate an honest review of my application. I graduated as Class of 2016 as a math major and came back to my home country to take a gap year (for personal, family reasons). I am applying for only PhD programs this year (cannot afford MS) and would greatly appreciate a review of my application and even some suggestions about my current list of schools I am applying to. Undergrad Institution: Mount Holyoke College Major(s): Mathematics, Economics Minor(s): n/a GPA: 3.83, Major GPA: 3.9 Type of Student: International female GRE General Test: (did not have much time to study and will take on 11/20, but I am expecting around V:165, Q:165+, W:4) Q: V: W: Research Experience: independent research project with faculty (course credits) the whole senior year in statistical genetics (longitudinal, mixed modeling of biomarkers after injection of LPS, testing for significant snps using anova and score test statistic) \ Computer Programming: R Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Magna Cum Laude Letters of Recommendation: 1 math professor (Real analysis) 2 statistics professors (one of which was my ind. research project supervisor) Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: Took Real analysis (A), Linear Algebra (A), all 3 calculus classes (A), discrete mathematics (A-), complex algebra (A), abstract algebra (a-), ode (a-), stochastic processes (a-), probability (a), regression (a), mathematical stats (a) Also, the reason i do not have research experiences for the summer following my soph and jr year and why I came back to korea to take a gap year after graduation has to do with health problems of a family member... I really hope this does not put me at a great disadvantage. Should I talk about this somewhere in my application? The list of schools is not final. I know that there are a lot of really competitive and smart ppl out there and my application is not a WOW material so I really need less reach schools and more safeties... Please please help me! Thank you!! Schools: Reach: JHU (reach) UNC (reach) Umich (reach) Columbia (reach) WashU (reach) UCBerkeley(reach) Emory UCBerkeley Uminnesota UCLA UCDavis BU Upittsburg Yale Utexas UIUC
