2020 UW Statistics Graduate Student Panel

This event was hosted and ran entirely by volunteer graduate students at UW, with the aim of creating a casual, open conversation that isn’t geared towards any one specific program. In this video, they answer questions from various prospective and current students.

Here is a list of core topics they have discussed:

Should I be applying for graduate school?
How do I apply for graduate school?
What should I write about in a statement of purpose?
What are admissions committees actually looking for?
What is the difference between a Master’s degree and a PhD?
What is the difference between statistics and biostatistics?
What will your day-to-day life look like as a statistics PhD student?
