Msc Statistics Acceptance and Questions
Hello! I was accepted into the Msc Statistics program and am currently weighing my options (all US universities). I will send an email to the department with some of my questions, but I thought this subreddit might help me paint a better picture:
- What is the usual Msc Statistics cohort size? I haven’t found exact numbers online, though my best guess is from the 45-55 theses posted every year which is a nice number.
- This matters somewhat as it informs me of the level of support/attention I might receive, though I admit it’s more applicable in the US.
- Side curiosity: do people drop out frequently? I.e. the cohort starts at 75 people then drops to 50 by graduation….
- I’m not familiar with the European schedule, how do people fit internships into their studies when your only break time has exam requirements? I know not everyone does, but I’d like to complete one, so it might involve a semester leave.
My background: I have a bachelor’s from a US university, and work experience.
Very excited at the prospect of being at ETH in a couple months!
