Thank y'all so much! I had heard that Stats Masters programs weren't super competitive before, but I wasn't sure quite how relaxed they were in admissions, so this is very helpful. Thank you!

Student Type: Domestic White Male Undergrad: Top 5 U.S Public School Major: Statistics and a foreign language GPA: 3.5 (Statistics major GPA is 3.3) Math & stat classes: Calc I&II (high school), Calc III (B+), Differential Equations (B+), Linear Algebra (B), and a few more basic ones. I never got less than a B on any Stats or Math class, but I ended up with quite a few B+s. GRE: 167 Q, 161 V, 3.5 W Research: Did an independent research project with a professor my senior year. Not published or anything. Also participated in SIBS and a few other research projects, but none other that are Stats related. Work Experience: Have worked in marketing for a start-up since graduating. It's a very small company, so I've been able to do projects that involve data analysis (such as forecasting revenue based on marketing spend per channel, and regression analyses to predict different metrics, and I've created Shiny apps in R to help my non-programming teammates with various projects) Letters of Recommendation: One from my current boss, one from the professor I did research with, and one from my workplace mentor (who gets feedback from everyone I work closely with) Applications: I haven't narrowed down my list 100% yet, but I'm most interested in NC State, UW Madison, Emory, Washington, Minnesota, Michigan Looking at my application, I'm mainly worried about my low major GPA. I'm hoping that my decent GRE score, work experience and LOR will compensate for it. I know that MS programs are less competitive than PhD programs, but I'm not sure just how competitive I am. Any advice or insights would be highly appreciated!
