Hello, thank you for your suggestion. May I ask for more detail? I didn't have a deep conversation with neither tbh. I understand the COPSS winner might just gave me a general one, but the one from the hospital(Not a statistics prof) won't be very outstanding. I am very hesitated. Thank you!

Thank you so much. You really gave me some confidence.

I graduated this June, currently working as a software developer at a top 5 bank. I'm interested in doing research in bayesian statistics / nonparametric statistics. Something bad happened in my first year so I got only ~3.8 in first two years of uni. Undergrad Institution: Canada top 3 Major(s): Statistics Minor(s): Computer Science GPA: 3.89(last two years 3.97) Type of Student: Asian Female GRE General Test: Q:165 V: 161 W: 4.0 Applying to: Statistics PhD Research Experience: One year at a relatively large hospital, worked mainly with logistic regression, co-authored an abstract. Other than that I do not really have much research experience. I have several bayesian course based projects. Letters of Recommendation: Probably a decent one from summer reading on math. One from AP teaching ML(got 99). I am hesitating between a prof who Ive taken course with, or my hospital research prof. Neither of them knows me well, but the former is a COPSS winner while the latter is from the only research I've done. Math/Statistics Grades: 1st year: Real Analysis(B+), Linear Algebra I(A+), Linear Algebra II(A) 2nd Year: Advanced Cal(A-), and probability I(A+), Prob II (A-), 3rd Year: Stochastic Process(A+), Spatial Stat(A), ML I(A), Applied Stat(A+) 4th Year: Stat Computation(A+), Multivar Data(A), Mathematical Stat I(A), Mathematical Stat II(A+), ML II(A+), And a bunch of CS courses: Neural Network, Database, Algorithm, etc, at least A Planning on Applying to: Duke, UCLA, UW, UPENN, UNC Chapel Hill What are my chances of getting into some of these schools, and what are some other schools I should look at? Thanks for your help!
