  1. @cyberwulf Thanks a lot for your opinion! it makes a lot of sense. @Radon-Nikodym Everyone has the same formatting, and I did take a graduate numerical linear algebra class (why would I lie in this post?).
  2. Hello, I graduated the college in 2017 June, and am currently taking a gap year working as a full-time research assistant under two professors. I was planning on applying to Statistics PhD programs in this December, but now I'm considering taking another gap year (researching for 1 more year or get a job) OR apply this year, see the results, and re-apply in the next cycle if I'm not satisfied with the results. The reason why I'm considering the options is because I think I will have at least 2 journal publications as a co-author if I apply in the next cycle, whereas I will have 0 journal publications (maybe 1 conference paper or in the archive or something) if I apply in this December. The professor that I'm currently working with thinks my application will be much stronger if I apply in the next cycle with (multiple) journal publications (of course the publication is not 100% sure, but I think the professor is trustworthy). It would be great if I could hear any opinions about the two options! Also love to hear opinions about my GRE score (low verbal...). Below is my profile. Thanks a ton in advance! Undergrad Institution: UChicago Major: Mathematics, Statistics Cumulative GPA: 3.6 ~ 3.7; Major GPA (mathematics): 3.7~3.8 Type of Student: asian international male Math Courses: Undergraduate: Honors calculus I (B+), calculus III (A), Multivariable calculus (A), Intro to analysis (A-), Analysis in Rn (3 quarters, B, B+, A- ), Abstract Algebra (2 quarters, B+, A), Complex analysis (A), Numerical analysis (A-), Statistics Courses: Undergraduate: Statistical Theory and Methods (2 quarters, B, A), Nonparametric inference (B), Intro to Mathematical Probability (A), Applied Regression Analysis (A), Categorical data analysis (B+) Graduate: Numerical linear algebra (A) (I'm pretty diffident about the grades due to frequent B's in important math and stat classes, which is why I'm trying to have better research experience) GRE: Q 170, V 153, W 4.0 (should I re-take it for top stat programs due to low verbal score?) GRE Mathematics Subject Test: N/A Research Experience: RA in statistics department for 1 year (primarily worked with a Postdoc, advised by a Professor; Postdoc and I are writing a paper and planning for journal submission); currently also working as a full-time RA with two professors (expecting at least 1 decent journal publication) Awards: Just dean's list Recommendations: 2 from research experience, 2 from classes Programs I'm Interested In: Top 20 Statistics PhD Stanford Berkeley Harvard UChicago Univ of Washington Carnegie Mellon Duke UPenn Wisconsin UIUC Columbia Yale UCLA Other stat related programs with computational emphasis
