求问选校(修改版2.0）

lixincynthiaUID: 3057480

本人国内普通财经院校统计专业，GPA综合89专业90+（开出成绩单后发现比自己估计的略高），GRE640+800+4，TOEFL107，大一大二学经济（大二必修课5/400），大三开始转入统计系，rank 1（大三必修课）。参加全国大学生统计建模和全国大学生数学建模比赛，结果还木有出来。。。主持过校级大学生实践创新项目（经济方面的），参与过两个项目，在导师的一个项目里打过酱油，建设银行实习（可忽略）。
    申请统计硕士（应用统计为主）现在选校Cornell一年的MPS, Columbia的水项目MA，Duke（统计与经济建模方向）,  UCLA, UNC-Chapel Hill，UM-Ann Arbor，UPenn;Purdue, OSU，Clemson, BU.
     之前的选校结果被拍砖了，去掉了Chicago, UMN和UW。在查课程设置的时候悲剧的发现。。。JHU的MS四个方向只有Statistics略有可能，但是直接说是bio方向的。。。而且怎么感觉对计算机的要求比对统计专业课的要求还高。。。弃之。。。
     突然对Upenn的统计异常感兴趣，开在Wharton下。。。妄想下。。。有没有哪位牛牛了解的

这么霸气，OSU和明尼苏达保底。。。。。而且你觉得这里面哪3个是冲刺，JHU、华盛顿和UNC？虽然GPA是高，但还是觉得，这里面有一半都算冲刺，没有保底。。。。

Chicago的统计需要sub吧

geogriaUID: 2602760

3# Parker19820517 没的，ms program没一个学校要sub，包括chicago。要sub的都是phd program

arthur060UID: 2811899

西雅图华盛顿，CHICAGO要SUB的，学院统计网站上有说建议提交SUB的。
话说楼主好霸气申请这么多牛校。。。

您才是真正的霸气。。。umn本科４.０GPA，本科的高等课上个遍，G１５５０，我一个学长申本校直接被拒，您这里直接保底了。万分佩服，极度膜拜。

profjamescheungUID: 3150987

2# yejiming
我还发现OSU这个统计小牛在您这里也成了保底了。。。您忒霸气。。。

最后你的学长去哪呢？都上过神马数学课？
申请这种东西讲运气，有时候chicago招了你osu就不招，也有可能吧。。。
貌似楼主申请的master耶。。。
我觉得楼主的条件，而且开master的学校没多少个，可以直接从上面申下来
但楼主要查清楚，很多学校虽然有统计MS、MA的program，特别是有funding那些是几乎不招生的，因为他们都是直接招PhD，master可能就招一两个美国人。

这校又不是我选的，是lz选的啊。。。。这么多牛校好像也就OSU和明尼苏达弱一点

8# gavinfeng That guy decided to extend his ugrad for one more year w/ more advanced courses and summer programs, and now umn is a " Baodi" for him, while umn is his dream last year.

1# lixincynthia Several of my academic advises told me they don't know ZJU but know SDU in China, I really have no idea about that... Thus, as your school is not T/P, it does not matter so much that you are not a top school graduate, though it still matters a little bit.

Personally speaking, Columbia and Cornell are not as strong in their STAT program, but if you are going back in years and in need of a good fame, hey are OK. Moreover, they have decent location.

If you are interested in academic living, then OSU PhD is a good choice, but AVOID its MS. Because this is a state founded public school, many other schools like this, including OSU, own strong PhD program for good reputation and publication, but their ugrad are so so, and their MS programs are just held for money--most of the times to feed their high costly PhD programs.

I think Cornell can be a good choice, because it's full of Asian people in the program you mentioned, though still hard for you because I have not seen so many highlights in your intro.
UMN is very hard, even just MS. This is what I have seen, because UMN does not see you a MS student, MN has rare opportunity than other schools located in NY or CA, thus most of the times they think you are coming for academics. This might be a good choice as well, but if you set it "Baodi", I bet you lose.

About other schools, I have not investigated much, though, I know something, I won't say so much.

Hope you a decent AD/Offer

非常同意

7# profjamescheung 不是我选的，是中介给我定位的学校:funk: 所以求问大家这样对不对啊。。。你有什么建议保底的学校吗

lixincynthiaUID: 3057480

11# profjamescheung 看来您是专家了，膜拜一个:handshake ~多谢指点。
这么说吧，我铁定读统计学的硕士，如果有为PHD准备的MS就忽略了，读应用的，不准备搞统计方面的学术。这里面的学校我只能从学校网站略知一二。Chicago和西雅图华盛顿确实说强烈推荐SUB，但是问中介他们说没关系的。不过我准备放弃华盛顿了，这个学校专排这么高真不是盖的。至于OSU和UMN我只是看专排在二十名左右，所以想申申看，真的不了解。。。
我不是找中介全包的，我用的是DIY服务，就是他们给我选校修改文书处理杂事，但是不保证我能申到，所以我才来求问诸位高手的意见。毕竟中介又不是专做统计学申请。
