GOOD LUCK TO BOTH OF US !! Hahah! Let me know how it goes!!

Did anyone hear back from M.S. in Biostats at Michigan? Still waiting for their final update after their phone call from last Saturday... they gave me hope lolol.

Congratulations!!

There is no Michigan for PhD in Statistics yet....Strange...

You should consider applying for an REU. That will strengthen your profile.

I have a feeling that Michigan's PhD Statistics decisions will also be out this week. Good luck to everyone!!

It wasn't an interview. I don't believe they do interviews for MS Biostats. The call was quite personal. They said they were very positive with my profile. They asked about my GRE score. They also asked me to send them a reference from University of Michigan as I did an exchange semester there last Fall (2017).

Michigan SPH gave me a phone call this morning regarding my MS Biostatistics application. For those who applied for MS Biostats program there, the decisions should be out next week.

Theoretically speaking, it is less competitive here and people are less arrogant and more supportive! ?

Congrats !!!

Yes! This is part of the email I received from the DGS at Yale University. "Once again, we had many excellent candidates (over 400 this year for the first time), and you were among the best (we accepted less than 10% and expect a class of about 15 MA students)."

Thanks man! I also applied to: M.Sc. in Statistics: UBC, Alberta, Calgary, Toronto, McGill, Michigan, UCLA, and Stanford M.Sc. in Public Health: Toronto, Michigan Ph.D. in Statistics (Direct Entry): Toronto, Michigan

I guess I will update mine as well! In early December, I got a recommendation from two potential co-supervisors at Queen's University for direct entry into their Ph.D. in Statistics program, with a research focus in computerized experiments and cancer clinical trials. On January 26, 2018, the DGS from Yale University emailed me saying that he recommended me for admission to M.A in Statistics. On the same day at 4 PM, I received an official offer letter. But the tuition including living cost is $65,000 USD, mannn!!! So expensive!!! Sighh....should have applied to more top tier schools in the U.S....................... A little bit about myself: University of Toronto (Scarborough), CGPA: 3.47, Major GPA: 3.79; Mathematics Specialist in Statistics Stream Coop program, 5th year 15 Teaching Assistantships at U of T: Calculus II (2 semesters), Multivariate Calculus I (1 semester), Multivariate Calculus II (2 semesters), Introduction to Statistics (3 semesters), (Honours) Mathematical Statistics (1 semester), Introduction to Statistics for Social Sciences (1 semester). Fulbright Canada Killam Fellow, academic exchange at University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Mathematics and Statistics Tutor at UMichigan Statistics Canada Coop, one research publication from StatsCan; three conference presentations (two undergraduates in Montreal, QC, Canada and one at Joint Mathematics Meeting 2018 in San Diego, CA, USA); Three reading courses including this semester (all profs are very notable), one project course Ridiculous GRE score tho... 161 Q; 149 R; 3.5 W I learned that my LORs were much stronger than I thought when I received my recommendation from Queen's University. A strong SOP too, I think.
