Hey guys I need a little help here

Graduate School
1

<p>Currently I am a 3rd year at UCD
and I am a stats major</p>

<p>Which by my major's program, i would have finished a MAJORITY of stats classes for the MS degree here in UCD for stats. (Only need 4 mandatory classes)</p>

<p>Well I dont know much about grad schools but sure I want to learn more on stats. </p>

<p>I have a 3.4 GPA right now and not sure if that can get me anywhere...</p>

<p>I am not sure about my major's GPA but it should be around the same.</p>

<p>I have not taken the GRE yet. But I will soon since I dont want to take the new one.</p>

<p>I have 3 letters of recommendation already (well the three will write me a recommendation since I know them pretty well.)</p>

<p>2 from distinguished professors (1 stats 1 math) and 1 from an assitant professor. </p>

<p>I have worked in a bank's dealing room before which used lots of time series analysis (so i would think this would fit into the experience criteria? )</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into a grad school in MS for stats?</p>

<p>mostly I want to go to Berkely since one of my rec letter the professor went there for the PhD in stats. So I hope that might help.</p>

<p>Or what are some other choices I should think of?</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty ok for masters programs.
Berkeley is probably a reach, though. Besides, I don’t think your professor being from Berkeley will help all that much.</p>

<p>Here are the best stat programs:
