Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I am planning on applying to statistics/biostatistics PhD programs for Fall 2021 matriculation. I am feeling a bit worry about my GRE score in verbal section and research experience. Please give me some advice where should I apply? Moreover, I wonder if I can take Introduce to Analysis or Advance Cal 1? Which one should be better?

Undergrad: Top 80 Undergrad (USNWR)
 

Majors: Math Stat, minor Business Analytics 

GPA: 3.9
 

Math courses (A in each): Calc I-III, differential equations, linear algebra (B+), probability & statistics I-II, stochastic process (graduate level), math statistics I-II (graduate level), regression, design methods (graduate level), introduce to abstract, stats consulting, sampling (graduate level-Fall 2020), nonparametric (graduate level-Fall 2020), survival (graduate level-spring 2020), introduce to analysis or advance calculus 1 (Fall 2020), 

GRE: have not taken but Verbal will be under 150, Q >165

Research: Summer academic consulting at top 30 ranking stats university (did presentation), 1 undergraduate research

Schools:  I am not sure where I should apply. I would appreciate any advice in classifying schools as target/reach/safety, or just any suggestions on where I might consider applying.

 

Thanks so much!

I'm not super sure as I'm applying to schools too. But I've been stalking this forum for 2 years now so I'll try to pass on my absorbed knowledge. As an international your math background is a little weak (depending on what "introduce to abstract" is. If it's Abstract Algebra and you got an A in it then I think you have a good shot at programs rated 30+ on us news  like CU Boulder UVA etc. I'm not sure how big a difference Analysis vs Advanced Calc would be,  I'd just take which one covers the subjects your interested in.
