Hi guys,
Does anyone know anything about the PhD program in Statistics at Boston University? I just haven't seen anyone who applied to that program on any relevant websites (urch, mathematicsgre, here,..).
The program is within their mathematics & statistics department, and when you apply you select the area of specialization as "Statistics".
Anyway, below is my profile and I would really appreciate it if anyone who knows about the BU PhD statistics program can evaluate my profile, or anyone who can give me an insight for other schools that I am applying to! Thanks!
Type of Undergrad: Small LAC Undergrad GPA: 3.83/4.0 Major: Mathematics, Economics Minor: Computer Science (but does not show on my transcript) GRE: Q: 167, V:155
GRE Math: N/A Math Courses: Multivariable Calculus (A) Discrete Mathematics (A) Linear Algebra (A, but taken during a summer at a CC) Probability and Statistics 1 (A) Real Analysis (A) Econ Courses: Intro Micro (A-) Intro Macro (A) Intermediate Micro (A) Intermediate Macro (W, but will take it again this fall with my advisor) Econometrics (A) Computer Science Courses: Intro to Comp Sci 1,2 (A) (A-) Data Structures and Problem Solving (A-) Computer Organization and Architecutre (A-) Theoretical Foundation of Computer Science (A-) Other Courses: General Chemistry w/ Lab (A) Intro to Physics (A-) Letters of Recommendation: 2 from professors that I will be doing research with this summer (expect to be strong) 1 from professor from Comp Sci department (expect to be semi-strong) Research Experience: -2 semesters as an RA but for an economics professor -Going to do Student-Faculty Collaborative Research in the summer with two of my professors mentioned above, and it will most likely going to be under review at journals by the time of application deadlines but is feasible to be published (top 50 Journals) and, if published, I will be listed as co-author (but, again, economics topic; it is data heavy though) Teaching Experience:
- TA for Econometrics (1 semester) - Tutor at the "Quantitative" center at my school (3 semesters)
Research Interests: N/A Applying:
BU PhD Statistics (absolute first choice)
Rice PhD Statistics
CMU PhD Statistics
UVa PhD Statistics
Columbia MA Statistics
Yale MA Statistics
Any recommendations for other schools to apply would be appreciated as well!
