  1. Yeah that would interest me a lot! I really enjoyed the Statistics classes here and the fact that they require a thesis option for their Masters is really appealing to me as I look forward to applying to a Ph.D in the future. I do have a slew of Bs (low points being a B- in Linear Algebra, C+ in Statistical Theory II) in mathematical/statistical courses so I'm really not optimistic at all about my chances of getting into the MS program here. But I did do two Research Assistantships at different institutes here and managed to snag a B+ in a graduate level Stat class of my interest (Machine Learning) so I'm holding my head high. Would you recommend taking the GRE Subject Test in Math to supplement my application? Even if I don't get in here, I'd love to attend the Masters programs at Duke, Columbia or Washington but am worried that those may be reaches.
  2. I have a very similar background except I'm a domestic student. I'm not looking at getting into academia, but I have enjoyed studying Statistics a lot at UChicago and would be very interested in spending my 20s learning far more on the subject, mastering it to a greater degree and pursuing an independent research project through a Ph.D. I'm looking at applying to master's programs and using them as a stepping to better Ph.D programs but I'm unsure of which schools I should target at this stage. Would you say Duke's, Yale's or Columbia's are out of my reach? Wisconsin and Minnesota's look pretty interesting as well - are those within my range?
  3. Undergrad Institution: Top 5 Undergrad Institution, Top 5 for Statistics - USNWR Major: Statistics GPA: 3.1/4.0 cumulative, 2.97/4.0 major (No excuses, I wish I had worked harder. The students here are very smart and talented) Type of Student: Domestic Asian Male Undergrad Courses: Calculus I-II-III (B, A-, B+), Introduction to Computer Science I-II (C+, B-), Computer Systems (B-), Regression (B+), Probability (B), Time Series Data (B+), Statistical Theory I-II (B, C+), Linear Algebra (B-), Discrete Math (B), Algorithms (B) Graduate Courses: Machine Learning (B+) GRE: Q: 170V: 163 W: 4 Mathematics GRE: N/A Programs Applying: Statistics MS Research Experience: Spent both summers as a Research Assistant. Built a large scale data visualization application first summer in a CS institute. Working at a Data Science Institute for this summer. Both are a part of my university. Recommendation Letter: Two with senior researchers that I RA'd for; one from a well-known CS professor that I've taken two classes with. One from a Stat professor that I got along with and may do research with this summer. Coding Experience: R, Python, C/C++ Other experience: Software Engineering Intern for a large consulting company. Worked in their IT Department. Awards/Honors: N/A I have no clue which schools to aim for. Would love MS program recommendations.
