ParanoidAndroid Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) I'm sorry for another "What are my chances?" topic, but I'm currently in the process of applying to masters programs in statistics and I was wondering if I could get some input on my chances. My profile: Undergraduate Institution: Top 30 International (according to QS and THE) Major: Physics Relevant Course Work: Equivalent of math major (probability, statistics, linear algebra, real analysis, complex analysis, advanced calculus, ODE's, etc.) GPA: 3.50/4.00 (Cumulative), 3.75/4.00 (Major), 3.66/4.00 (Math) GRE: 165 Quant, 154 Verbal, 3.5 AW Research: Nothing major. Honors degree students in Physics are required to do a year long research project for credit. I also did a term project in my regression and analysis of variance course. Letters: I'm sure I'll be able to get a couple of good ones, however, they are from the Physics department. One of them will be from a math professor I got along very well with and received two A's in his courses. Schools I'm applying to: Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Wisconsin-Madison, McGill, Illinois-Urbana Campaign, Chicago, BU I know I'm aiming high, but do I have a decent shot at any of these schools? Are there other realistic schools that you could recommend I take a look at? Edited October 9, 2013 by ParanoidAndroid
James_7 Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Your GPA and GRE are right up there with the averages of people accepted, what are your worried about specifically?
cyberwulf Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 You should probably apply to a few larger departments to increase your chances: Iowa State and NC State come to mind.
