Reflection:
I applied late in the cycle (~Jan 10) and missed the deadline for most top 20 programs. I suspect I would have had good results if I had applied to these programs. That said, I’m very happy with Iowa State.
On 4/4/2023 at 1:31 PM, prgp said: Undergrad Institution: Unknown State School (100% admittance rate) Major(s): Applied Mathematics (Essentially Applied Statistics) Minor(s): GPA: 3.25/4 😰 Type of Student: Domestic Hispanic Male GRE General Test: Taken: 08/2019 (Refused to retake for Ph.D. applications) Q: 149 (38%) V: 158 (61%) W: 3.0 (13%) GRE Subject Test in Mathematics: M : NA Grad Institution: Large State School USWN (50-100) Concentration: Statistics GPA: 3.95/4 😏 Programs Applying: Statistics Ph.D. (Wide variety of interests) Research Experience: Undergraduate Research and presented at 3 conferences/symposiums. Graduate thesis research in soft statistics for machine learning(publishable) and will develop an R package for it (Summer), presented at 2 conferences. Graduate research in biology mathematics for stochastic simulation presented at local conference. (Technically forgot to add this to resume, but in my math stat 1 course, we developed a workflow for the 4-parameter uniform (location-scale family) that should be getting published eventually) Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Fully funded MS student. Pertinent Activities or Jobs: x2 TA for high level undergraduate probability course (rice textbook), Recitation leader for Intro to Stats with R course. Graduate Instructor for College Prep, Trigonometry, and Intro to Stats. Letters of Recommendation: Recommendations should be good, they are from Advisor (Assistant Department Head), Faculty who I did the bioMath research with (Associate Department Head), Math Stat I Instructor (A in class). Math/Statistics Grades: Undergraduate: Typical core 5 for undergraduate (C's and B's), Stats and Probability courses (B's and A's). Graduate : Applied Spatial, Data Vis, Intro to Mathematical Statistics, R Computation, Bioinformatics, Mathematical Statistics I (Casella and Berger) (A), Geostatistics (A-) Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: I did everything that I could to rectify my poor undergraduate gpa, and GRE scores. I believe I accomplished that. UC Berkeley - Statistics Ph.D. Rejected Washington - Statistics Ph.D. Rejected Duke - Statistical Science Ph.D. Rejected North Carolina CH - Statistics and OR Ph.D. Rejected NCSU - Statistics Ph.D. Rejected Rejected UC Davis - Statistics Ph.D. Ghosted/Waitlisted Texas A&M - Statistics Ph.D. Ghosted/Waitlisted UCLA - Statistics Ph.D. Ghosted/Waitlisted Iowa State - Statistics Ph.D. Ghosted/Waitlisted UC Irvine - Statistics Ph.D. Interview 1/20 - unofficial admittance 1/26 - Official Admittance + UC Funding 2/1 - Matriculated 3/31 UT Austin - Statistics and DS Ph.D. Rejected Colorado State - Statistics Ph.D. Rejected Virginia Tech - Statistics Ph.D. Rejected Oregon State - Statistics Ph.D. Ghosted/Waitlisted Home University - Statistics Ph.D. Withdrawn Reflection: I knew going into this that my low undergrad GPA and bad GRE, will potentially overshadow all of the great diverse research that I have done. It was clear on my rejection from Virginia Tech, since my reason for rejection was "non-competitive". Other programs have me waitlisted, officially and unofficially, personally those programs took too long in making a decision. Regardless of the outcomes from the remaining programs, I plan on attending UCI. They have something really special cooking out there, and I am excited to be apart of that. Update: Rejects from CSU and UNC, It appears that UG GPA is weighted importantly.
Very happy with these results! I got an early acceptance to Pitt because of rolling admissions so I cut down my application list and only applied to schools that I would choose over that scholarship. I applied to Duke partially because I knew that they gave half tuition scholarships but I didn't expect a 75% scholarship! My math background isn’t the strongest because I decided on biostatistics after finishing undergrad. I took Calc 1-3 and linear algebra through community college night classes. This might have been a negative for some schools but it worked out fine for me in the end.

Undergrad Institution: University locally known for business & social science in Taiwan (ranked around 200 globally in business in USNR) Major(s): Double Major in Finance and Statistics Minor(s): N/A GPA: 4.29/4.3 (4.0/4.0 after WES evaluation) Relevant courses: Calculus (A+/A+), Linear Algebra I/II (A+/A+), Mathematical Statistics I/II (A+/A+), Regression Analysis I (A+), Multivariate Analysis (A+), Programming 101 (A+, in Python), Programming and Statistical Software (A+, in R)
Exchange program institute: UC Berkeley (one-year international exchange program) GPA: 3.95/4.0 Relevant courses: Analysis I/II (A/A-), Statistical Prediction and ML (A), Causal Inference (A), Grad Experimental Design (A), Grad Intro to Stat Computing (A)
Type of Student: International (Asian) GRE General Test: Q: 166 (84%) V: 157 (74%) W: 4.0 (54%) GRE Subject Test in Mathematics: N/A TOEFL Score: R30/L28/S25/W28
Programs Applying: A mix of Statistics/Biostatistics Masters and PhD programs

Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Presidential Award x6, Study abroad scholarship, Research Scholarship Pertinent Activities or Jobs: N/A, nothing beyond my undergraduate research
Letters of Recommendation: 4 letters from instructors at Berkeley (Likely the typical did-well in class letter), 1 from my undergraduate research supervisor (strong) Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: The letter from my undergraduate research supervisor should be very strong, he said he would love to have me as his PhD student, and I think that definitely helped tremendously!!

Thoughts and Thanks: I feel super blessed this applications cycle and am so very grateful for the admission results. I know for a fact that none of the above are safety schools, and though out of the 21 schools I applied to, most resulted in a straight rejection (didn't even make it to the edge of the waitlist). At the end of the day, I got into many schools I never thought I would've gotten into. I didn't have a strong math background compared to most of the international applicants, nor do I have fabulous GRE scores (my quant section was a mess). I didn't have a 3-stack strong letter that are all from reputed professors (my letters were a mix of did well in class letters from Berkeley and one strong letter from the professor whom I did research with in Taiwan). Other than a great undergrad GPA, I think the SOP carried more weight than I thought it would. And submitting a large number of applications to schools with matching interests was also definitely helpful, though hindsight 20/20. I've been following the forum ever since I was a freshmen in college, and I'm glad I finally made it to a PhD program!! Special thanks to @bayessays @Stat Assistant Professor @cyberwulf @trynagetby and many others! Your career and application advice helped me tremendously in terms of career planning and in the application process!! I know there's a long way to go, but I am glad I can be making contributions to the scientific community through developing better estimation methods and help create better decision criteria via math and data! Can't wait to start the Fall semester!

Doctoral program statistics.
Use this page to explore summary statistics for research doctoral programs administered by the Graduate School. While the most common doctoral degree is the Ph.D., the D.M.A. in Music and the J.S.D. in Law are also included here. Methodology and definitions are provided at the bottom of the page.
For additional graduate statistics, survey results, and career outcomes data, see program metrics .
Methodology and Definitions
Admissions counts.
Applied, admitted and matriculated counts are reported for new, external applications only. Current students who transfer into a different graduate program at Cornell without submitting a new application are not counted here.
Individuals may defer enrollment and/or be admitted to a program that differs from the one to which they originally applied. This can cause admitted and matriculated counts to be higher than application counts in some fields.
Admission cycles start in the summer and continue through the following spring. For example, the 2020-21 admissions year includes data from summer 2020 through spring 2021. Because these dashboards are updated annually in the fall, the most recent year will not include data from the spring.
Average Admit Rate
Admit rate is the percentage of applicants who were admitted. Highly selective programs tend to have low admit rates. The five year average provides a good indicator of typical admit rates.
Enrollment numbers are derived from the student enrollment snapshot that is captured the sixth week of each fall term. Only students who are enrolled on the census date are counted. Students on an approved leave of absence are not included.
Average Completion Rate
Completion rate is the percentage of entering doctoral students who successfully completed the degree. Completion rates are reported by entering cohort, which is defined by the first term in which a student is enrolled in their doctoral program, regardless of any prior enrollment in a master’s program. The cohorts included here entered their programs seven to twelve years ago, and thus have had adequate time to finish a doctoral degree.
Status of Students in Each Recent Entering Cohort
This graph shows the current status of students who began the doctoral program in each of the last ten academic years. Students listed as completed have received the doctoral degree. Students are considered current in their program if they are still actively pursuing the doctoral degree or are on an approved temporary leave of absence. Students listed as discontinued have either left the university without a degree or switched to a different type of degree program (in many cases a master’s degree).
Time to Degree (TTD)
Time-to-degree degree measures the time in years from the first day of a student’s initial enrollment in their doctoral program to the day of their degree conferral. Time-to-degree measures elapsed time only, not enrolled time. It does not stop and start if a student takes a leave of absence. For Master’s/PhD students, time-to-degree starts when they begin the PhD phase of their studies. If a student was enrolled in a master’s program prior to matriculating in the doctoral program, the separate time in the master’s program is not included. Because of this, time-to-degree may appear shorter in some doctoral programs where it is common to complete a master’s prior to matriculation in the doctoral program.
The median time to degree can be thought of as the “mid-point”, where half of the students completed in a time period that is less than or equal to this value. The median is not affected by extreme values or outliers.

- Acceptance Rate
Columbia Phd Acceptance Rate
Columbia University is an Ivy League School and its admissions statistics make it one of the most competitive Ivy League Schools. Similar to the trends across all top schools, Columbia University acceptance rates have continued to decline over the past 8 years and will almost certainly continue to do so into the future.
The Class of 2023 was the single most challenging year to be admitted to Columbia University ever. For the Class of 2023, 42,569 students applied to Columbia University of which 2,190 students were accepted, yielding an overall acceptance rate of 5.1%. Overall applications increased by 5.9% over last year (2022 to 2023) from 40,203 to 42,569.
For the Class of 2023, 650 students were admitted through the early admissions process. Total early applications totaled 4,461, yielding an early acceptance rate of 14.6%. Early applications increased by 9.2% over last year (2022 to 2023) from 4,085 to 4,461.
