I am a 2nd year PhD student in Statistics. For different reasons, I have been mulling the idea of switching to a different Stats PhD program. Would my current PhD grades carry some weight with my application? Would that be the case in Europe? Thank you for your take on this.

Has any one heard from Santa Barbara?

What's a reasonable time frame for the admission process? I haven't heard anything yet, so I don't know when should I come to terms with the idea that I wasn't accepted.

I was waitlisted at The University of Chicago last year, when I applied to their PhD program in Statistics. I'm not sure if this actually means something or not. Any opinion or advise is well received

When you say 30-50 you mean in the US News school rankings? Edit: I'm an International Student, so I don't think my institutions have much prestige in the US. In my home country though, they are flagship institutions.

I'm an international student looking for advice on which schools to apply. I would really appreciate your insight, recommendations and criticism. Bs Degrees: Mathematics, Economics, Statistics. GPA: 3.28 Msc Degree: Mathematics. GPA: 3.39 Type of student: Latin male. Program desired: PhD in Statistics Research Experience: coauthor of one published chapter for Springer's Contributions to Statistics. Teaching: 5+ years as an adjunct teacher. Teaching calculus and statistics for engineering and social sciences. Programming: Proficient at R, MATLAB. Basic knowledge of Python, STATA, SPSS and Julia. GRE: Verbal 165 (96th percentile), Quantitative 166 (91th percentil), Writing 4.0 (60th percentile) GRE Subject Math: 840 (85th percentile). Planning on retaking it. TOEFL: 112/120. Course Work: calculus 1-3, linear algebra 1-2, abstract algebra, real analysis, measure theory, stochastic processes, stochastic analysis (grad level), probability, differential equations (ordinary and partials), data mining, econometrics at undergrad and grad level, linear regression, sampling theory, spatial analysis, design of experiments, microeconomics, macroeconomics, multivariate statistics at undergrand and grad level, statistical inference, bayesian statistics, time series, toplogy. Low grades though, average GPA is 3.3. Research interests: I would like to do research on statistics on manifolds. Or, more generally, applying geometry/topology to statistics. I'm open to many other problems like functional data analysis, time series, regression, etc, etc etc. Applying to: Pittsburgh University. Arizona State University. University of Illinois. University of Texas. UC Davis. Duke and Stanford. Clearly, I'm having trouble assessing my real options here. So that's why I wanted to kindly ask you to point me in the right direction for "match" and "safety" schools. Thanks again!
