I did not plan on applying to stat phd programs until this summer, so I don't have many stat courses, I hope I could still have a chance. Also consider applied math programs.
Undergrad Institution: Top 100 US university, public(I went to a community college for 2 semesters before I transfered to my current university) Major(s): Applied Mathematics
Minor: None GPA: 3.9+
Type of Student: Asian male, first generation(I doubt this would give me any extra credits)
GRE: Take in the fall
GRE Subject: Not planning, but might take in the fall
Coursework (completed)
Lower division: Calc1-3, Discrete Math, Applied Linear Algebra, Intro to Proofs
Upper division: Intro mathematical stats, Calc4 differential equations, Geometric Structures, Finite Mathematical Structures, Data Analysis, Graph Theory, Applied Algebra, Mathematical Biology, Intro to Analysis(Intro real analysis), Applied Real Analysis, Applied Complex Analysis, Intro computational math
All As, except a B in calc1. Also have some CS, tech, or coding-related courses, all As.
Research/ working experiences: One REU this summer on deep learning, very likely to get my paper published(first author)
Skills
Python, Java, Latex, C, Matlab
Teaching experience
- TAed 2 semesters in intro mathematical stat course
Letters of recommendation:
1 from professor I've done research with(probably very strong, but who knows). One from professor I TAed for(probably strong). One from a Distinguished professor(probably just positive, but could be strong)
Schools
Unsure, every school seems to be a reach for me. All recommendations would be appreciated!
