Advice for Non-Stats Applicant & Profile 2019

[marksheppard]

Ultimately I want to do a PhD in Economics, and Math/Statistics is the most reasonable way to get there.
So I need some brutal advice on applying to MA in Stats.
What programs should I look at? And where I have the best chance of getting in.

Undergrad GPA: 3.62; UC Berkeley, Honors Law & Economics/Public Policy
Graduate GPA: 3.52 Georgetown, Political Economics
LOR: Thesis advisor, Department Chair, and CA State Senator
2 years of research experience
GRE: 160 Q/ 160V/ 4.0 AWA
Calc (A), Statistics (A)

As @Robatum1030 already answered, you need additional math coursework such as Calculus II/III and Linear Algebra to get into a stats masters. Once you take those classes, I think you have a good shot at getting into a decent MA program.

Georgetown is the PhD that I'm positioning for, by extension it is the MA that I'm hoping to get into, but I can't find any rankings. Would you say that GT is a good or bad Stat program?

I really don't know anything about their stat program. Maybe someone else can shed some light on that. Sorry.
