Thanks all for your help! I really appreciate it.

Hey all, So, I'm a pretty atypical applicant. I finished my undergraduate degree in 2019, worked for two years, and then enrolled in a JD (top 3 law school) in 2021. I took a leave of absence from the JD in 2022 due to health problems, and I have since been unemployed and unenrolled while sorting out my health problems. During this time, I have rediscovered my interest in math/statistics and now want to pursue a PhD. My question: given my lack of research experience and connections with statistics professors, is a master's degree the only feasible way for me to remedy these deficiencies and become competitive for PhD programs? Type: Domestic Undergraduate Institution: UCLA Degree: Philosophy Cumulative GPA: 4.0/4.0 GRE: 168V/167Q Courses Taken (Grade): - Real Analysis (A) - Linear Algebra (A) - Abstract Linear Algebra (A) - Analysis of Algorithms (A) - Probability (A) - Econometrics (A+) Research: Nothing significant. I worked as an RA for a law professor doing some data analysis for a few months. Thanks everyone
