GRE and TOEFL/IELTS Scores
GRE scores are not required or reviewed.
Any international student who does not qualify for an English language proficiency waiver will be required to submit official TOEFL or IELTS scores. There can be no exceptions to this policy.
Academic Statement of Purpose & Personal Statement
The Statistics PhD program will require applicants to submit both an academic statement of purpose and a personal statement.
Applications are submitted electronically using the Web-Based Application form. Required application materials include a CV, transcripts from all undergraduate/graduate institutions, and two letters of recommendation. Additional information beyond what is requested as part of the Web-Based Application form is not required. All requested application materials should therefore be submitted as part of the Web-Based Application process.
IMPORTANT: no other materials should be sent to the Field of Statistics by e-mail, FAX or surface mail unless applicants are contacted directly and asked to submit additional information. Neither the Field of Statistics nor Department of Statistics and Data Science will accept, or otherwise assume liability for, unsolicited information submitted by PhD and MPS program applicants.
