Hello, I just sent an email with my CV. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

I applied to some MS programs with the March 1st deadline, but I feel like I still need some more safety MS programs. Could anyone recommend a few more programs whose deadline haven't arrived?

So I just called ISU, they sent out their first round admissions, and they said also expect to accept fewer student due to budget cuts. Things are looking worse and worse.

Has anyone heard from Boston University?

Could anyone recommend some Masters Programs whose deadline hasn't passed? I applied to mostly PhD programs and it is looking extremely bad right now.

So I was just rejected by University of Iowa, and I was told that there was no separate Masters application either. That really really sucked.

That is somewhat reassuring, I guess.

That is bad news, they probably also also send quite a few waitlist decisions. Judging from your post time, we received the wait-list decision almost the same time.

I submitted mine on 12/14 but it wasn't marked complete until 12/19.

I also just got wait-listed by NCSU, better than rejection, I suppose. Does anyone know what the situation is like in the past couple of years? Like how many people got wait-listed, when did they receive their updates etc.

Could you perhaps elaborate a bit more on your "given standard" of an applicant that you would admit? I would certainly appreciate it if you could also read my profile evaluation post.

Thank you so much. Could you maybe point me to some other PhD programs that fit my profile? Any input is appreciated.

Thank you for your input, it was quite reassuring. I will make some adjustments accordingly. Do you perhaps also have some ideas about Master's programs with plenty funding?

Hello, I am apply for mostly phD programs in statistics for fall 2018, and I would love to hear your thoughts on my profile. Undergraduate Institution： Top 40 USnews, public school; no statistics department, but math department is top 20 major: statistics GPA：3.732 in general, major GPA is 3.76 Ethnicity: International Asian Male （what I have heard is that my actual competition will be the applicants from my country, as opposed to applicants that went to undergraduate schools in the US ） GRE: 161 verbal, 166 quant, 4.5 writing Math GRE: did not take it TOEFL: I know this is not required since my undergraduate school is in the US, and I took my TOEFL in 2013, but still, just in case. 112 Programs Applying: phD in statistics, phD in biostatistics, ms in statistics Noticeable Courses Taken: all A's in freshman calculus series (4 courses, including multivariate), A's in linear algebra ( 2 courses, one elementary, the other applied upper division), 2 A-'s in real analysis (took two courses in a supposedly rigorous 3-course series), A in complex analysis, A- in a project-based big-data statistics course, A+ in computational statistic, A and B in a two-course mathematical statistic series, ABA in a 3-course probability/stochastic series, B+ in time series, A in numerical analysis, A in a project-based math programming course, A in financial mathematics. P(pass) in a graduate-level applied statistics course. Recommendation letters: one from the professor I took computational statistic with, also doing a reading course with him this quarter; one from a professor I took multiple statistics courses with; and one from the professor I took numerical analysis and math programming with. There first two professors are quite well-known in the statistics industry, although I doubt that their recommendations would be strong because of the usual high standards they set. The third professor is less well-known and his letter should be better than a generic letter. Research experience: had a big group project in which I build regression models on a Kaggle data-set, on which I developed most of the theory and did all of the coding; a walk-through research on a R-package on isotonic regression, had a 5-page long research report Professional experience: no experience in the industry so far, but I am looking into some data analysis internships after I graduate. Misc: I TA'ed a elementary statistics course for two quarters, and I also have TA'ed some calculus courses; the TA reviews were all quite good. I am graduating in the start of my 4th year as an undergraduate. It is unusual, but I am not too sure how this will things. If I do get into a masters program, I really hope to get enough funding and TA-ship to at least reduce my tuition: I just really want to be financially independent and not have my parents pay tuition anymore. Schools and programs I am applying to: OSU, UIUC, Florida State, UC Davis, Iowa State, North Carolina State, Purdue Pittsburg University, Rutgers UConn UC Irvine Texas A&M Texas Austin Northwestern Rice UCLA North Carolina Chapel Hill I am applying to phD in statistics to all of those schools above, phD in biostatistics if available, masters in statistics/biostatistics if enough funding is provided. The way I list these schools is the by how much I fit, Northwestern, Rice,UCLA, NC Chapel Hill are reaches; UIUC, OSU, Texas A&M, Texas Austin, Florida State, NC State, Iowa State are hopefully matches; and the rest are naively considered safeties for now. Concerns: I have had some B's in statistic courses; no GRE math score; research is not stellar; no professional experience; no strong recommendation letters. Please let me know your thoughts: what other schools should I apply to? what phD programs do I have a decent chance at ? what masters programs should I apply to, given that I really want some funding ? Thank you so much for your time and thoughts.
