    Hey Sithija, super inspiring vlog! I'm an econ grad student currently planning to apply for PhD programmes in econ next year. Cornell is definitely one of my top choices. I would be super grateful if you could share your admission stats, stuff like gre score, whether you had any published papers/conferences, any advice for the research statement/sop. I'm assuming the stats for stats (pun not intended) and econ PhD programmes shouldn't be too different. Thanks for your time, subscribed :)

      Hey Partho, thank you! GRE: 166,166,5.5, Papers: 2ish, Conferences: 2 (small lol), and I actually made this video about the SOP which I hope will help! ua-cam.com/video/9KceRFaQ9Nc/v-deo.html

    Is Master in Statistics required for PhD Statistics or even we take it with Master in Mathematics?

    • @sithijamanage
      @sithijamanage  Рік тому +1

      Hi Gaurav, thanks so much for watching. A Masters in Statistics or Mathematics is not required for PhD in statistics. However, from what I can tell, it is pretty helpful for international students. For reference, about half of my cohort has completed a Master's degree. Hope that helps! Good luck

    Hi Sithija. I love your channel, man. This is like a rare preview of my potential future PhD life at Cornell. Can I ask you about the graduate courses you've taken? And those you plan on taking too. Did you take measure theory? oh, sorry to see the truck accident. hope the insurance company will take care of it for you soon.

    • @sithijamanage
      @sithijamanage  Рік тому +1

      Hey Tio! Good to hear from you again. It's been a minute. As far as graduate courses go, these are the exact courses I've taken: (All are grad level) Prob 1 & 2, Math Stat 1 & 2, Stat Computing, Stat Consulting 1, Linear Models, Understanding ML, Causal Inf. and ML, I plan on taking another prob course as review and Consulting 2. Not sure about other courses yet :) Thanks about the truck, insurance is taking care of it so it's all good! Good luck

    Hey!! I'm currently in my last year of masters and thinking of applying in phd program
    (soil and crop sciences) at Cornell. Can you please tell me about tution charges and do all phd students get the stipend?

    • @sithijamanage
      @sithijamanage  Рік тому

      Hey Raahat, awesome. If you are accepted to the PhD program, you should not have to pay any tuition. The graduate program (I am 99% sure) will cover your tuition and give you a stipend to cover expenses. You will just need to do the teaching assistantship work they set up for you. That is how it works for statistics. According to this website, Agriculture PhD students at Cornell are fully-funded: fellowshipbard.com/degree-programs/fully-funded-phd-in-agricultural-sciences-at-cornell-university/#:~:text=Tuition%20Coverage%3A%20Cornell%20often%20covers,the%20stipend%20is%20approximately%20%2430%2C000. Good luck!

    • @sithijamanage
      @sithijamanage  6 місяців тому

      Hi Prabhathiya. I think it depends on the program. However, I would guess that most do not because the ones that I am familiar with (Math, Applied Math, Stat) only have Fall intake. Good luck ayye

    Hi Sithija,
    I hope you're doing great! I just found you after one of the Professors agreed for a online meeting for possible PhD admission!
    I'm really nervous as I do not have probably not the most competitive profile, I did not even dreamt of this possibility now I don’t want to lose it that I have a real opportunity here.
    I'm facing my PI in two days! Anything from you would a little assuring. I am an average Engineering student with a GPA of 3.00 and little research experience and programming skills
    I'm applying for the Bioengineering program!
    Thanks you so much, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. I am just feared I will lose in the competition!
    Aslo tell me if the decision of the PI/Advisor is the final or there’s admission comitte!

    • @sithijamanage
      @sithijamanage  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi there! Best of luck. A PI can have a significant say in the admission process. There is a committee but sometimes PI's will convince the others if they would really like to accept a certain student. Good luck!
