What is the acceptance rate into the statistics phd program at Boston University?

Question

If you can post a website with the information, that's great.

If you can find the rate given that someone already has completed a masters in statistics, that's even better!

Thanks

Answer 1

Schools rarely publish this kind of information.

The Mathematic and Statistics department graduated ten students last year. If we assume a 50% dropout rate, that would mean that they take in about 20 students per year. If we assume that 2/3 of those who get accepted enter the program, then they accept about 30 per year. I doubt that they get more than a hundred applications per year -- so that puts it at about 30% as a conservative estimate.

The only statistic that I can tell you for sure is the finance department at Berkeley. The year I applied, they had 250 applications, accepted nine and got six. The next year they had over three hundred applications, accepted four and got four. You can use this as a low band.

There are no longer any PhD engineering classes at any of the Ivy's that i will think of of. Ivy's are bigger on the theoritcal factor, no longer the utilized factor. Cornell possibly? besides, MIT is approximately 10% attractiveness, and could be decrease yet maximum folk do no longer difficulty attempting.
