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

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

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