Statistics PhD Programs for 2020 -- What rank of school?

[badgersarecool]

I'm looking for advice on what tier of school I'd be competitive for. Any input would be highly appreciated.

Undergrad: The Ohio State University

Majors: Mathematics/Economics

Ethnicity: South Asian

Overall GPA: 3.92
Math GPA: 3.79
Econ GPA: 4

Courses: (including all the math and only some economics) Except the first two calculus classes and the economics classes, all are proof based and honors level.

• Single variable calculus (A)
• Multivariable calculus (A)
• Intro to Proofs (A)
• Real Analysis I (A-) -- single variable real analysis
• Linear Algebra and Ordinary Differential Equations (B)
• Real Analysis II (A) -- metric topology and multivariable analysis
• Applied Algebraic Topology (A)
• Combinatorics (A-)
• Probability (A) -- measure theoretic
• Complex Analysis (A)
• Econometrics I (A)
• Econometrics II (A)

GRE -- Haven't taken it yet

Research Experience: None

Other highlights: Am doing reading course type option with two statistics professors (e.g. reading papers and meeting weekly to discuss for this summer. This fall I'll be taking the first of a 2 course sequence in abstract algebra along with a mathematical statistics course. I'm not too worried about either.

Interests: Still unsure, but I'm interesting in more theoretical programs than applied ones.

Type of Program: Statistics PhD programs

My main weakness is probably going to be limited research, but I'm hoping that I will have good letters to compensate.

I'd talk with your professors at school if possible - Ohio State is probably the range you should be targeting.
