Letters of Recommendation: 1 department chair and a couple of other professors, I assume they were pretty favorable
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: not much, my undergrad institution didn't have a stats department so most of my experience was with upper/grad-level math and econometrics. Work experience may have helped since I tried to make it reasonably clear I'm not using Masters as a bridge to a PhD.

Iowa State - M.S. Statistics / Admitted + TA / Likely to Accept
Ohio State - M.S. Statistics / Admitted + ??funding / Likely to Decline
Kansas State - M.S. Statistics / Admitted + TA/ Likely to Decline
