Hey all!
I've recently decided that I want to take a masters in statistics, part-time. The only school I really want to attend in Columbia, so I'm primarily asking what you guys think my chances are? I'm also looking into CUNY Baruch. Those two are the only feasible ones for me.
Major: Mathematics
Overall GPA: 3.583
Major GPA: 3.649
GRE: 160V 161Q (waiting on my writing score, I just took it yesterday)
Recommendations: Three tenured mathematics professors.
Related Work Experience: I've been working as a software developer for the past 2.5 years, I plan on continuing working as one while I do my masters.
Other Related Experience: Passed Exam P and Exam FM. Member of Pi Mu Epsilon.
Comments/Concerns: My quant GRE score should most likely be a little bit higher. I planned on retaking it, but if I was competitive anyway, I wouldn't! Does the essay part of the GRE affect admissions? I believe I did pretty well on it, have to wait 10 - 15 days to find out for sure though!
