stat_fiend Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I've posted before but I wanted an update Major: Applied Math GPA: 3.81 overall, 3.84 math, 3.89 statistics Research Experience: 2 Applied Math Summer REU's, both relevant to statistics (1 publication, 1 poster presentation) Course Experience: Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, Probability Theory, Stochastic Processes, Numerical Analysis, Mathematical Statistics, Linear Models, Programming in C++ and R, Statistical Computing, Monte Carlo Methods, Combinatorics, Graph Theory, Set Theory, Topology, GRE: 170/170/4, November Math Subject Test not yet available Where I'm applying UCLA UC Berkeley Stanford UW Chicago Princeton (ORFE) Penn Carnegie Mellon Ohio St Michigan Johns Hopkins Purdue UCI UC Santa Cruz Italicized schools are maybes. I'm not really sure how many I should include. Also, is UCSC at all reputable? It doesn't appear in the rankings at phds.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwulf Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Would be easier to advise if we knew something about the strength of your undergrad school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stat_fiend Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 it's a top 5 public school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwulf Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ok, then I would say there's no need to add more than a couple more schools; maybe Michigan and Purdue? I don't think you'll need them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stat_fiend Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 I got 760 (74%) on the Math Subject Test. Is this a plus for most schools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwulf Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 A good fraction of applicants to stat programs don't even take the math GRE. I guess it's a minor plus, but your score is totally consistent with the rest of your record so it doesn't change your profile much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
