mjr802 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Hi everyone. I am thinking about applying for a PhD in stat and I was hoping someone (or many people) could take a look at my profile and let me know what sort of schools I do (if any) or do not have a shot at. I know I’m not going into tons of detail in my profile (below), but I just want know what schools would stop considering me for admission given this amount of information (or think I am interesting enough for an in-depth look at my application). Thanks! Undergrad: 3.67 (BS Math, BS Applied Stat, minor Econ) from top 10 science school (both the math and stat programs are top 10) Grad: 3.67 (MSc Operations Research) from top 5 ivy Past year and a half: Statistical consultant (pharma and biotech), one of my papers is in review for publication Research experience: Astrophysics research in undergrad, mathematics research in undergrad (no publications) Other relevant info: Tutored mathematics/statistics throughout undergrad (up to differential equations) and was the head tutor for my last 2 years in undergrad Courses: I’ve taken all the necessary courses required and received good grades plus a PhD level stochastic calculus course GRE: Quant: 790 Verbal: 510 AW: 3.5 (confused considering I have As in all my English/writing courses) Research Interests: Astrostatistics, machine learning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr802 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Sorry to post again, but I've looked at other profiles on this site and I've had trouble finding a good proxy for my profile. I'm just afraid to waste time and money on applications to universities that I don't stand a chance of being accepted to. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
