[statsreal]

Undergrad Institution: QS ~150ish Asian University
Major(s): Industrial EngineeringB.S / Industrial Engineering M.S at same univ
GPA: 3.76/3.91(M.S.)

Type of Student: International (Asian)

GRE General Test: 154(V)/167(Q)
 

Programs Applying: IE/Statistics/Biostat

 

Research Experience: 1 second author published(optimization) 2 first author (1 biostat, 1 optimization) under review
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: 2x First Class Honors in undergrad

Pertinent Activities or Jobs: TA for an undergrad Computer Science course

Letters of Recommendation: One Research Advisor(Strong) 2 prof that tought me Linear Algebra, Operations research, Applied Statistics. (Got a good grade and did decent projects)
 

Math/Statistics Grades:  Calculus 1,2(highschool) Calculus 3(1year, B,C+), Linear Algebra(B+) ,Numerical Analysis(B), Engineering Math(ODEs) (A+)

Grad: Reinforcement Learning(A+), Computational Statistics(A+, does a lot of linear algebra, includes some proof based linear algebra), Large Scale Optimization(A+)

Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: 

My academic record in undergrad shows a strong upward trajectory, with a GPA of 3.96 over my last 60 credits. While my early math grades were not as strong, I've proven my ability in junior/senior statistics-related courses.
I have self-studied real analysis but did not have the opportunity to take a formal course. (I didn't realize that it was necessary until recently :(  )

Applying to Where: 

While I am mainly applying to  Ph.D. programs in Industrial Engineering I also want to apply some in  Statistics/Biostatistics since My research experience includes some work in biostatistics, and I have a strong interest in high-dimensional statistics. 

For Industrial Engineering, I'm targeting departments that aligns with my research interests. My list includes:

Northwestern (IE), UT Austin (IE), ASU (IE), NC-State (IE)

For Statistics/Biostat

I am applying to several Ph.D. programs in Statistics and Biostatistics. While I have a record in statistics coursework and research, I have some concerns about my foundational math background.

Specifically, my early undergraduate math grades were not strong, and I was unable to take a formal Real Analysis course.

Given these points, I am trying to better understand where I stand for the following programs:

• UConn (Statistics, they seem to do biostat research in stats department)

• University of Florida (Biostatistics)

• UMass Amherst (Biostatistics)

• Iowa State University (Biostatistics)

How would you classify these schools in Stats/Biostats as Reaches, Targets, or Safeties for my profile? Any insights or additional suggestions for similar programs(that'd be good for internationals) would be greatly appreciated!
