  1. I'll be joining the MS in Statistics program. happy to chat with anyone, shoot me a PM. willing to bet I have the most 'unusual' profile of any admitted students
  2. well unfortunately i have no options to get a strong rec from a professor who knows me well. i've been out of school some time and did not maintain contact, nor did i have great relationships with professors in school. given this info and assuming this is my only option to get a rec from a professor, does this change anything? my other options will be former colleagues who will definitely write enthusiastically, but they are non academics
  3. hey, cross-posting something here to draw some attn from the math crowd in case you don't frequent the recommendation forum. (sorry if this is a no no.) math people may be the only ones who understand the perspective so i'd def appreciate your insights:
  4. say many years ago as an undergrad you took a class like Math 55 at Harvard or the equivalent at MIT/etc. ie. something with a really strong reputation. for those not familiar: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2006/12/6/burden-of-proof-at-1002-am/ now, the well-known prof has agreed to write a rec, but as it states in the article, you were among the 10 who didn't understand the course. so he says the rec would not be that strong. a strong rec from this prof would probably guarantee admission ... my dilemma is whether a weak rec is worth anything. this is for an MS in Stats program, and my other options for recommendations are very limited. any thoughts?
