When I was in undergrad, I felt like time went by so fast and 4 years is just a blink of an eye. Do you guys feel the same way in grad school (especially in PhD programs)? How is it different or the same?

Hi Everyone, Undergrad Institution: Large Public School with a top 20 math department (US news) Undergrad Major: BS in Statistics GPA (Undergrad): 3.9 overall Type of Student: First Generation Asian Female (Permanent Resident in US) Relevant Courses (Undergraduate): Calc I/II/II (A, A+, A+), Analysis I/II (A-, B-), Applied Linear Algebra (A+), [proof-based] Linear Algebra (B), Abstract Algebra (P), Applied Probability Theory (A), ANOVA (A), SAS course (A), SQL course (A), R studio course (A), Numerical Methods (A), Partial Differential Equation (A) Research: 2 semesters of physics research in statistical inferences 1 year of independent study in pure math 1 summer REU in computational math _____________________ GRE General: Q/V/A: Will take it soon (PP1 score around 160/167/4.0) GRE Math Subject: Planned on taking in September _____________________ Research Interests: High dimensional inference, Machine Learning, Stochastic analysis Prospective Schools: Statistics (S) and Industrial Engineering/Operation Research (IEOR) Reach: Columbia (IEOR), Cornell (IEOR), UW (S), CMU (IEOR), NC State (S) Target: Rice U (S), UT (IEOR & S), Emory (Computational Math) Safety: Georgia Tech (Online Masters of CS) My application is probably too unrealistic because I am still hesitant on whether I should go to grad school due to family reasons. I feel like if I cannot make a decision myself, I'll just apply to the programs that are most interesting to me and let the admission committee do the job.
