Programs Applying:  Statistics PhD

 

Research Experience: 

- now I am a visiting student at a lab for fall and spring semester

I don't have publications yet , but I guess I will have one or two next spring , but that is too late for this year's application.

 

which school I could apply this year ? any suggestions .

 

Thanks !

You’re going to have a really tough time getting accepted anywhere. 162Q GRE score is really low, especially for an international student. Additionally, I took a quick look at RIT’s applied statistics curriculum and that is not adequate preparation for a statistics PhD. For the bare minimum, you need to take real analysis and linear algebra. Admissions committees are going to question your ability to succeed in Casella Berger type mathematical statistics.

Thanks for being honest, I did take linear algebra, stochastic process ,regression etc, I guess I will take GRE again
