FAQs

• Are TOEFL Scores required?

  

  GSAS requires a minimum score of 100 on the Internet-based TOEFL (600 on the paper-and-pencil test) or 7.5 on the IELTS test. Please refer to GSAS Admissions for timing and more details on the English Proficiency Requirement. Write to [email protected] for specific questions.

• What are the minimum GPA/GRE Scores for a successful applicant?

  

  There are no minimum GPA or GRE scores set by the Department. The Admissions Committee looks competitively at the overall application including the grades received in relevant coursework, the prerequisites needed for the program, recommendation letters, test scores, and other supporting documents.

• What do you look for in an applicant?

  

  The Admissions Committee looks for applicants with a compelling background and strong grades in quantitative and related fields such as statistics, mathematics and computer science. Applicants need a thorough knowledge of linear algebra and advanced calculus. Successful candidates have experience in theoretical or applied probability and statistics. Familiarity with computer programming is highly recommended. Interested applicants lacking background in these areas should make up the deficiency before applying. We do not offer conditional acceptance. Due to the large number of applications received, the MA in Statistics staff does not answer inquiries about specific applications. We do not give advice or offer direction to applicants before they are admitted. While we appreciate interest in the program, emails expressing this interest have no bearing on the outcome of an application. One's candidacy is decided upon by the application materials only. Any specific interest and rationale should be conveyed in the personal statement within the application.
