  1. Actually I am not aware of the importance of SOP on Stat MS admissions but I got admitted to one of top programs, mentioning on my SOP that I would like to pursue PhD upon completion of my MS.
  2. Hi all, I am preparing for 2019 MS programs in statistics. (My main objective is to pursue Ph.D. in statistics) However, I actually do not know if I have any chances. It will be greatly appreciated for your advice. Thanks in advance! Undergrad: Asian Institution (Top 3 in country) Major: Business Administration / Statistics (Double Major) Type of student: International Asian Male Undergraduate GPA: 3.83 overall, 3.99 Math & Stat (one A- on Bayesian Stat, all A's) GRE: 163 V, 170 Q, 4.5 W iBT TOEFL: 30 R, 28 L, 26 S, 30W (Total 114) Courseworks: Analysis I, II / Calculus I, II / Differential Equations / Linear Algebra I, II / General Topology / Probability Theory / Scientific Computing / Stochastic Processes / Mathematical Stat I, II / Regression Analysis / Multivariate Analysis / Bayesian Stat / Computer / Computer Programming / Introductory Optimization / Econometrics (Both Undergrad & Grad) Research Experience: none Teaching Experience: tutoring experience in linear algebra & regression analysis (official tutoring provided by institution) Programming Proficiency: advanced in R. Intermediate in Python and MATLAB. and a little bit of C/C++. Have some experiences in LaTeX as well. Letter of Rec: One from my supervisor working on econometrics. One from math department who taught me linear algebra and scientific computing. Last one from stat department who taught me multivariate analysis. List of Schools hoping for: Chicago, Columbia, Minnesota, Stanford My main concern is that my LORs might not be very strong. My supervisors are nice, but are not that "famous." And the content of their recommendations would also matter. I just took supervisors' classes and received good scores.. that's all. And I realized that there are not many stat master programs that are suited for Ph.D. preparation.. One-year programs are not going to improve my profile dramatically, so I am looking for two-year programs. Chicago and Stanford would be best but I heard that there are many competitive applicants Would there be any other recommendations?
