MathMajor got a reaction from omicrontrabb in Fall 2019 Statistics Applicant Thread
Can someone please share their understand of Michigan Biostat's MS to PhD fast-track program? From what I can tell it is equivalent to being accepted directly into a PhD program at other schools straight from undergrad since you are still required to take the MS classes during your 1st year at those schools.
Do you receive less funding as a MS to PhD fast track student than a traditional PhD student? Are you almost guaranteed to become a PhD student at UMich after completing the track?

I really don't know anything about their stat program. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that. Sorry.

As @Robatum1030 already answered, you need additional math coursework such as Calculus II/III and Linear Algebra to get into a stats masters. Once you take those classes, I think you have a good shot at getting into a decent MA program.

MathMajor got a reaction from mathmollusk in Research vs. Comp Sci courses for stats
Do you have any experience with any programming languages (python, R, C++, Java, ect.)? If so, I would definitely go for research. If not, sometimes many of these REU's will teach you a programming language since you may be required to use a certain programming language in your project (assuming you are doing applied research). Thus, I think it is a good idea to go for REU's assuming that you do get in since they are very competitive. Taking CS courses can be your backup plan.
