Hello I'm a first year grad student as well as a RA for a major grant (more on the applied side). My advisor, who employed me, is leaving for industry. I'm seriously considering applying to some other Stat programs next year. What can I do now to increase my chances of getting into more programs? BTW my current school is not know for its stat program. Thanks

I recently accepted a RA offer to attend a PhD program in Stat next Fall. I'm curious as to how often it is for schools to offer RA positions to new students right away. Also, what are the pros and cons for RA and TA positions now and in the long run. Thanks

Has anyone been officially wait-listed?

I havent

idk man

I'm taking real analysis this upcoming Fall,and I took the accounting class last Fall. My math classes are multivariate Calc, ODE and all Lin Alg. I took a bunch of stat classes tho

Thanks for the responses ppl. I will have some research experience, dont know if anything will be published; at least 1 strong rec from a prof who went to one of those top schools; and I def will take the GRE math subject. Also, would a C+ in an accounting class hurt my chances at all?

I'm a undergrad in a state school entering my final year. I currently have a 3.74 GPA with over 140 credit hours. So does my low gpa stand a chance at PhD admission into top tier Stat schools such as Stanford, Harvard, etc?
