This is exactly what I was looking for kash! Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what was the approximate rank (ie top 50) of your undergrad school?

Thanks so much for the advice! I realize that real analysis is something that adcoms would like to see, however, it would be very difficult for me to fit in real analysis (its only offered every other year at my school). In general, can a larger array of statistics courses make up for this, especially if I have no intention of pursuing a PhD?

Hello all, I'm brand new here, and so far the information I've found has been very valuable. I am currently a sophomore and I have tried gathering information about masters programs in statistics. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find what an ideal profile looks like for those looking to get a masters at a top notch program. Stanford does have a class profile on their website, but that is the best I've been able to find at this point. For those of you with knowledge of the masters programs, what would a "competitive" profile look like from the following criteria?(assume schools ranging from Minnesota/Wisconsin to Berkeley/Chicago). Type of Undergrad Institution/Major: Undergrad GPA: GRE: Math Classes: Stats Classes: Other Classes: LOR: Research Experience: As a said, I'm only a sophomore so I'm looking for a little guidance to know where I should be by graduation. Also, I'm at a LAC and my statistics program is in its first year so my professors/advisors aren't really sure how to get students into graduate school, and I have no grad students to consult. Thanks for any help you can offer! EDIT: I do not plan on pursuing a PhD!
