Thanks for your reply! All of these are very helpful. Since the analysis class I took in my undergraduate study did not cover metric space, which I believe is essential for more advanced measure-theoretical probability, I was thinking maybe I should take a second semester of analysis class. Do you think this is necessary?

Thanks for reading this. I will be attending a Top 3 biostat master program next fall, and I want to seek for advice on how to become a competitive applicant for phd program in stat/biostat 2 years later, especially as an international student. FYI, I graduated from a top flagship state university with a major in statistics&computer science. I also have a minor in math but most math course I took are not proof-based and I only took one elementary analysis class (A+ grade). I also have done several research projects but do not have any publications. Specifically, I want to know given my background, should I prioritize taking more advanced proof math/analysis/probability class, or focusing more on doing research and possibly making some publications during my master study?

Thanks for your advise! I will definitely look into these statistics departments!

Hi everyone, I am about to be a senior next semester and ready to apply for Fall 2021 Biostats/Stats PhD and would appreciate any advice on my profile and schools Undergrad Institution: Top 50 State flagship based on US News Undergrad Major: Statistics Undergrad Minor: Math, Computer Science GPA(Undergrad): 3.94 Type of Student: International Asian male Relevant Courses(Undergraduate): Math: Calculus 1-2(AP), Honor Calculus 3 , Elementary Real Analysis, Linear Algebra, Numerical method: All A's or A+'s Comp Science: data structure, discrete math, database, data mining, and several NLP/ML classes All A's or A+'s Stats: Statistics/Probability 1-2. Intro to Applied Stats, Regression analysis(A-), Categorical variable and sampling, Stochastic process, Survival analysis, Applied Bayesian, All A's or A+'s expect 1 specified. Class plan to take: Bio-info, Differential equation, Non-Parametric Statistics GRE General: V/Q/A: 158/168/3.5, Worth retaking GRE general for a Better AWA? GRE Math Subject: I don't think I need take this if I am more applied oriented. Programs Applying: Statistics/Biostatistics PhD Research Experience: Had a one year program with a Bioinfo professor doing data analysis and machine learning about predicting the outbreak of certain Virus(Planning to publish). Had multiple research project with a Math professor on several topics (Game theory and Data Analytics) and presented at a national conference. Admitted to a legit summer Program at Canada and will work remotely with a professor and a team on applied math on blood glucose topics I think I will take the three recommendations from these three professors that I worked with. I know at least the first two should be strong as they helped me to get a great summer program, and I will try to impress the third during the summer... Target Programs: I am mostly interested in statistics and computer science with their application on Biology and medicines. I am less interested in theory but can definitely take them as needed. So I'm looking primarily at biostats but also open to several applied focused statistics programs. Given my lack of publications and the fact that I am international and Asian, My general plan is to apply ranking 20-40 Stats Phd, 5-15 Biostats Phd, based on And also apply several prestigious master program like Harvard and Stanford. If anyone could give their opinion on some specific schools I am competitive for, that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help!
