  1. I think I did leave a good impression on my supervisor during the research so will ask for a reference. Thank you very much for your advice
  2. Thanks for your reply! I was trying to generalise my supervisor's idea to solve a problem and didn't really succeed last summer and I found it hard to have some original work, but now I'm feeling better.
  3. Hi guys, I'm in my final undergraduate year and plan to apply for stats PhD in 2020. I have a good exam ranking but I haven't published any paper yet and don't know if this will be a serious problem for my application. What would you recommend me to do in the following year to better prepare for my application? Undergrad Institution: Top 2 (1?) in the UK Subject of Study: Mathematics Courses: Mainly in analysis and probability theory and a few stats courses Ranking: Top 2 in my year (1%) GRE General Test: Q: 170 V: 164 W: 4.0 GRE Math Subject Test: Plan to take next September and I hope to get 90%-95% Research Experience: I did a summer project with a probability professor in my university last summer, though some progress was made I didn't get a very solid mathematical result to publish a paper. I'm now applying for a few stats summer research opportunities for next summer References: Plan to get one from my undergrad tutor, one from the probability prof I worked with last summer and one from my research supervisor next summer Programs planning to apply for: Harvard, Berkeley, Stanford, Columbia and Duke (all PhD in statistics). Another concern is that I will have only taken 2-3 stats courses in my undergraduate degree (but I really enjoyed these courses) though I do plan to take mainly stats options in my fourth year (which corresponds to a masters degree in UK). Will it be a serious disadvantage for me during my application next year? Thanks!
