Hi all,
I'm was thinking about applying for a PhD in Statistics this year for 2022. I'm currently in a masters program but grades for these courses wont be available until after the deadline to apply for most schools. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Research Interests :
No hard and fast research interests: Time series data in neuroscience, and biomedical data analysis
Undergraduate Institution: Top 40
Major: Math/Neuroscience
GPA:
Overall : 3.9
Major: 3.85
Type of Student: Domestic Asian Male
Relevant Classes: Math Courses
Calculus 2,3 (A/A)
Matrix Algebra(A)
Discrete Mathematics (A)
Number theory(A)
Differential Equations(A)
Differential Equations (A)
Numerical Methods(A)
Real Analysis (B-) ( This is unfortunate first semester of covid and my computer crashed during our only exam )
Stochastic Processes (A)
Stat Courses
- Probability (A)
- Mathematical Statistics (A)
- Applied Regression (A)
- Biostatistics(A)
- Grad-level courses (in progress): Distribution Theory; Time Dependent Data; Applied linear Stat Methods
Other courses
- Quantitative Methods in Neuroscience(1/2)(A)
I'm planning to take few more grad-level courses on computational statistics, statistical methods, spatial statistics next semester.
Test Scores :
GRE general : V 162 / Q 168 / A 4.5
Research Experience: Three publications in unrelated fields; two poster presentations. 2.5 years working in electrophysiology data analysis. 2 semester working as a research assistant in a neuroscience lab.
Work Experience:
- 1 year working as a research assistant in electrophysiology lab
Honors: Presidential Scholarship; University honors 8 semesters
LOR : One from stat professor, one from a PDE professor, one from my previous PI
Other Notes: I was thinking about applying to Duke biostatistics; UCLA; Purdue; Quantitative Sciences UT MD Anderson; and University of Illinois Urbana Champagne; Florida State University. I might have to revise this list given that its probably very optimistic.
