How would research in technical but non-Statistics fields be looked at in MS applications?


Recommended Posts

I did some research in computational neuroscience that used a decent amount of math but have no completed research in statistics.

Given that a lot of programs encourage applicants from outside of Statistics, how would such research experience be looked upon by admissions committees?

It would probably be viewed as a minor positive point in your application. But the adcom's primary concern is that you can complete the coursework in their program, so your grades in math classes matter more.
