求指点：统计（社科类）

monika76fiveUID: 2671230

本人应用数学本科，对社会统计方向很感兴趣，今后想进科研机构。不过按现在的状况来看申MS比较靠谱。仔细研究了几大统计系的课程设置，好像社科方向的并不多（尤其是和金融、精算等相比），对毕业去向也很不了解。请各路大侠指点！

columbia offers a stat master program on the social science track...

Princeton department of sociology has a professor doing Bayesian application in sociology

USC has a great program in quantitative method but it's in department of psychology...

not sure about the others....

i am interested in this as well.... but i havent decided it yet... it's pretty tough to get in if you dont have background in social science like me...

现在的统计系很少有人研究social science，如果你想作者方面的研究还是关注Department of Sociology or Department of Statistics. 数学背景对于这方面研究会有好处，建议学一些统计和社科方面的知识，也可以先与这些方向的教授联系看看有没人对你的背景感兴趣。

嗯 多谢

我看到CHICAGO有社科的方向，修课的时候也是有偏重的，看起来还不错，但必定竞争激烈！其他也少有几个有，好几个都还是PHD项目。而且很多确实都不在统计系里。我觉得我想走的方向必定是PHD更能达到目的，但是没啥背景估计只能申MS。只希望去到好学校跟着学点东西再申PHD好了~

To maryshi816：你觉得可以直接发邮件给那些教授吗？

To 版主：你也是今年申请啊？

问多一句 如果我去考一个psychology的GRE SUB会有好处么

不知道psychology和social science的联系大不~

psychology is social science....-_-b

yes...i m a 2011 applicant...

no need to take psychology sub...i am not planning to take it...basically the programs i want to apply dont even strongly recommend to take sub...so...

i m not taking math sub either simply because i m too damn busy...

当然可以。教授喜欢好学的学生，发之前最好对其研究有一点了解。

monika76fiveUID: 2671230

其实我觉得最中意的就是quantitative methods in social science... 但是有这种项目的太少了...

To 版主：那你决定怎么弄~

我教授表示年轻的时候不要贪图容易学了social stat，要趁年轻多吃苦，学难一点的。。。于是就把我学social stat的热情剿灭了

贪图容易学了social stat？？嗷嗷嗷，这个方向真的是容易的么？

呃 难道指望读得很深入了再去转么 我个人的兴趣在于sociology啦 - - 我就担心统计走得太深了没那个必要

不过现在的状态很尴尬 社科那边的项目都觉得我们这种知识背景太弱了 直接不要。。。

我觉得只要是在统计系里的就不会简单过其他应用 除非你去做理论

well, my main target is still program in stat...

i m gonna try a couple of pyschogoly program but pretty sure i dont have a good shot...

i m thinking about trying a social science summer intern next year...  hoping to get to know more about what is really going on ...i dont know if i could get in though

anyway, if i m really into the social science track, i guess i could do my doctoral dissertation on it, if i could get in anywhere next year... hehe...

stat=> methodology in social science might be easy, but not the other way around...

okay! good to know and good luck!

i would concentrate on ms in stat. but some ms in social science/applied sociology as well. see what i can get then decide what to choose :-)

keep in touch! my MSN: monica_oxygen@msn.com, if you wish to add me~

小弟也对社科类下的统计比较感兴趣啊，我本身现在就是在国内一个财经类院校读统计，纯数学肯定是拼不过了，不知道社科类下的统计怎样。
