  1. Hi, I'm international student currently studying abroad and I would like to apply to Stat Phd this year. I would like any advices because I am new here, and I'm confused about my direction. Type: International Asian Undergrad Degree: Statistics (Top 3 in my country) Cumulative GPA: 3.83/4.3 Major GPA: 4.15/4.3 Courses Taken (Grade) : (Math/Stat Courses) Real Analysis I (grad level : A+) Numerical Analysis (grad level: A+) Analysis I (A+) Topology (A0) Mathematical Statistics I and II (A0/A+) Advanced Calculus (A+) Linear Algebra I and II (A+) Regression/Survival/Categorical/Bayesian Analysis, etc of roughly about 10~15 courses related to statistics all A+ except for one or two A0 Master Degree: Master in Statistics (Top 10 in US) First Year Cumulative GPA: 3.787/4.0 Courses Taken (Grade) : (All Math & Stat PhD courses) Functional Analysis (B+) Probability Thoery (A) Grad-level Mathematical Statistics (A-/A) Statistical Learning (A) Applied Classes (all A) (planning to take this semester) - Convex Optimization in Math Department - Measure Theory - Theoretical Linear Models the above lists are all Phd level courses except for applied courses. Research Experience: - one paper submitted and under revision: but it's more related to applied math than statistics => not to a famous journal though. - doing research about variable selection with one of profs, but not predicting to turn it into paper before application cycle. Letters: Haven't decided yet. Exam Scores Toefl : 114 (30/30/27/27) Gre general: 157/170/4.0 Gre subject Math: 85% (should I submit this? I didn't do that much good) Schools: (All Stats PhD) reaches: Texas A&M , NCSU, PSU, UW madison, UMN, etc about 10~20 rankings in US targets: UFL, UIUC, OSU, ISU, MSU 1. Am I aiming too high for the application? Can you give me any advices of where I should apply to? My undergrad institution sends students to those reach schools + some top schools so admission comittee might know my undergrad institution probably. 2. Is B+ in Functional Analysis going to hurt my application? I did roughly about median in the class with other Math phd students, but my school has harsh grade on core math phd courses (but I should have tried harder though..) for qualifying exam exemption. 3. Any advices of how to boost my chances of application? Thank you so much.
