“Hi everyone, I'm looking to apply for the MMath Statistics program and I am keen to know the following: 1. What are the placement statistics for the program? …”

u/EnumerativeCO: “Hey, I went through the program. Here are my two cents: 1) Not sure what you mean by placements. It feels to me that it's evenly split between people continuing further into academia (PhD) and people …”

u/EnumerativeCO: “That's fair. Note that you can take a lot of topics courses and some CS classes too, but I'd talk to Mary Lou about specifics. I took STAT 830, 833, 901, 902, 854, 850 and PMATH 650.”

u/boolgogi: “There's usually about 10 MMATH Biostats students and like 30 MMATH Stats students. Not sure how many apply - usually they look for mid to high 80s as a cut-off though. …”

u/boolgogi: “… STAT854 and 830 don't require much prereq material, and STAT850 is doable with at least one previous mathematical statistics course. …”

“Course selection is open from now until next Tuesday. For first years: this is NOT first come first serve. Take the time to look through and consider what you want to take. …”

Apr 25, 2017 How much to you think actsc 446 will be curved? 3 points, 25 comments

“Waiting for the final grades, really scared... It was the worst final out of 40 courses I've ever written. I feel like it could be my lowest grade.”

u/Postmodernist_Cancer: “Idk. I am disappointed with this course in general. When the second midterm came back I felt the marking was harsh. I made some small mistakes that ended up being a lot of marks taken off. …”

u/Postmodernist_Cancer: “Oh, can we change our minds after we are accepted? Coursework option is worth looking at too. STAT 830 and 854 are required and they prepare you for comprehensive exams in PhD. And it's up to you how much effort you want to put into your Master's research paper :)”
