2019 Master of Statistics Evaluation and Advice

[jjjbt1954]

I honestly feel like I am so lost in this process. I have not even picked my area of interest, is that important for master programs? If the school doesn't have any professor in that area, what happens? I am not a native speaker so when  I took the GRE I scored really really bad on English part and just so so in quantitative. I took it in the summer before my third year. Please take a look and give me advice about anything! I don't have any internship or research experience.

A Master's program is usually quite broad and applications seldom require you to pick an "area of interest". The latter is even true to some extent for PhD programs.

Your GPA is great, but your GRE will definitely hurt you. Try to retake it and study hard. If you only have time to study one section, study for Quantitative.
