StatsG0d Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Only a few of those schools you listed have stats PhDs (Stanford, UCB, UCLA, Michigan, Yale, Columbia). You have a very strong profile and I would not rule you out at any of these schools. I think you should add some better schools like Washington, Duke, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
