I am an upcoming senior at LSU majoring in Maths. I want to get my masters in statistics, but I have no idea what schools I could get into. I don't want to waste time or money applying for schools that I have no chance to get in. Here is some information: I have done research pretty much the entire time I've been in school, however, not much of it has been in math. It's mainly been physics research. I will probably get really good letters of recommendation from the professors I have done research with. One of them is a physicist, one is a chemist, and one is a geologist. Will it hurt me to not have any letters from maths/statistics professors? I haven't taken the GRE yet, but I have taken a class and have been studying. My overall GPA is a 3.7 right now, but I will hopefully be able to bring it up to a 3.8 by the time I graduate in May. These are the grades in my math classes so far: Tested out of Calc I and Calc II with AP test in high school Calc III - B Discrete math - A Wavelet intro class - A Mathematica lab - A Differential Equations - A Advanced calculus - B History of math - A Probability - A I am taking 2 graduate classes in statistics next year, where I will learn SAS. I am also taking 4 upper level math classes. What schools would be realistic for me to apply to? Is there anything I can do in my last year to improve my chances? I really appreciate any advice! Thank you!!!!!!!!!
