Masters in 2014 Fall

[mighywi]

I have work experience in Business Intelligence of 3+ years primarily using SAS, VBA. I have some programming experience in Java before that for a year. Have cleared 4 SAS certifications.

 

I am planning to take Subject GRE & General GRE.

 

I will get a LOR from a professor.

 

I want to do a 1 year Masters in Statistics.

 

which are the best options for my requirement. 

 

Thanks.

I have taken one paper each in Analysis, Complex Analysis, Differential Equations, Numerical methods, Functional Analysis, Abstract Algebra. 

 

I am familiar with writing proofs.

 

4 papers on actuarial course like Probability,Statistical Methods, Statistical Models, Contingencies. I am not interested in being an Actuary.

 

I have taken these while working, Hence am rusty. Hence will write maths subject test.

 

My research interests are in statistical modeling, Machine learning, Hadoop related technologies. But I want to go to a 1 year masters to test whether I want to get into research after that or make this one a terminal degree.

 

Based on your reply & other posts here, I get a sense that the work experience really doesn't matter. I am curious whether this assumption is because everyone here is applying right after undergraduate degree or because work experience really doesn't matter at all.

 

Thanks

I will try to keep that in my mind. 

 

Thanks.
