Title. Was just curious

I'm thinking of applying to masters programs at UoT, UBC, McGill in canada for statistics. Has anyone attended these? Are they likeley to admit international students?

Hi there, I am applying for several Statistics MS programs and would appreciate any feedback! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rFaPfCDFI_TMaYLiGyqbADDMgh54cBNs7TyvH6gnDDI/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks for replying. So in regards to masters programs, I would be competitive for all my state masters programs. Would any of these be safetys? And you suggest to not apply for statistics PhDs but rather biostatistics PhDs? I was thinking of applying to the UNC statistics PhD for sure since I know some of the faculty.

Hi there! I graduated in December 2018, took a 6 month long hiking trip, and here I am now applying to jobs and grad school. Ideally I'd like to work until grad school starts next fall. I am a rising senior who will be applying to PhD programs in statistics with interest in stochastic processes, time series, high-dimensional statistics, and uncertainty quantification. Not really interested in biostats even though I have a couple of experiences with biomath research.

Would these be considered safety or reach schools for me? Should I apply lower down the rankings list to secure a safety school? As for why I didn't apply for any outside of state programs is I'd rather not be 120k in debt after since most masters places dont provide any assistance. I'm not sure if its worth it to apply for out of state masters like Washington/ Uchicago? Am I wrong to think this way? PHD: This leads me to consider phd programs due to funding as well. I want to do around 10 applications so that leaves 5-6 PhD programs I can apply to. Do you think I would have a decent shot at getting into my state PhD programs such as UNC or NCstate? What about the top programs like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, Washington, Duke, etc.? Thank you so much for reading this and have a good day
