    honguyen94 got a reaction from movingtostats in Profile Evaluation MS Applicant   
    Hi, I think your profile is solid, and you should be able to get into top master programs in the US given your credentials. 
    With that being said, I have some concerns and suggestions for you:
    1. What are your ranks in your mathematics classes at your undergrad & grad institutions? I notice that you got some 7,8/10 grades, which might cause suspicion about your mathematical ability.  Especially, you got 66/100 in probability theory (in your grad school) -> you might want to explain clearly the level of difficulty of the course in your application.
    2. General GRE: your score is stellar.  Anyway, If you have time to retake and get > 168 in Quantitative section, it will add more credential to your application (some top schools really care about the Quant section of GRE). 
    3. GRE Subject Mathematics: Since you are going to apply to very competitive programs, I think you will need at least 80% at mGRE.  I don't think a score of 70% in mGRE will hurt your profile, but certainly it won't add much value to your application.  A high score in mGRE also will convince the admission committee of your mathematical ability, as well as the level of difficulty of your mathematics courses. 
    4. You haven't mentioned your research background, which is also an important factor that can help you stand out of the crowd.
    5.  Schools list: you can consider other schools that also are really good in stats/bio stats: UNCC, Duke, Purdue, UCLA, Michigan Ahn-arbor.  Add some safe schools as well, it would help you reduce stress during application season.

    I wouldn't suggest you applying for this program, since it's designed for those who are already currently employed and/or will be employed in the local Los Angeles area by the time school begins.  
    If you are willing to apply for another year, I'd suggest you taking a look at Purdue M.S in Statistics.  It's a decent program
