Harvard SEAS - S.M. in Data Science.

Hey Team,

I do some part-time consulting for my friends (both at my institution and elsewhere) as a second set of eyes on their grad school applications and in coaching them to stay on track to get into their program of choice. One friend of mine, who attends Arizona State University, is looking to apply to Harvard’s new S.M. in Data Science program in the Paulson School. Typically, I can find some sort of info on program admissions data for various programs. But, given that this is a new degree program, they’ve yet to admit anyone - ever - and it simply isn’t out there. Does anyone here have an idea of the basic profile the Admissions committee is looking for, particularly in terms of GPA and GRE score? I’m more of a humanities guy, not really all that knowledgeable on STEM.

This is the forum for Harvard UNDERGRADUATE studies – as such, you should repost you question in the GRADUATE studies section: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/graduate-school/

That said, Yale would seem to have a program that might interest you: http://statistics.yale.edu (and that’s BOTH an undergraduate and graduate program).
