There's not too many masters program evals, so I figured i'd give it a shot. I know I wouldn't be competitive for most PhD programs but maybe i'm more so for a masters. Any advice/input is appreciated. Thank you!

I think you can probably get into most of those Statistics Masters programs. UCLA is one of the top Applied Math programs in the country, and your Math GPA and overall GPA both seem to be well above the minimum threshold for Masters programs.

2 stats lecturers, 1 math post doc. Just curious,  why do you ask?

Just wanted to make sure you were asking at least 2 people within Stats/Math department or related fields, instead of asking someone in, say, Middle Eastern Art.
