分享Umich小米给我回复的邮件，有说统计系的就业方向以及关于申请的情况

我问了几个问题，一个是关于statement of purpose 和personal statement 是否都要的问题，他说确实都要，两份有侧重。
第二个是关于这个applied statistics就业的情况，他大概列了一下，但是不是很详细。第三是关于奖学金的情况，看样子是不太可能有奖学金了……
Hi Yinge Cui,

It is a Rackham requirement that you do both the personal statment as well as the statement of purpose. I have listed the differences below:

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The Statement of Purpose gives you an opportunity to tell us about yourself and your reasons for wishing to pursue a graduate degree in
statistics at Michigan. You should tell us about your background, motivating influences that aroused your interest in statistics, and your
career goals and objectives.   If you are currently enrolled in a graduate program elsewhere, you should tell us why you wish to change
institutions or degree programs.

PERSONAL STATEMENT

How have your background and life experiences, including cultural, geographical, financial, educational or other opportunities or
challenges, motivated your decision to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Michigan? For example, if you grew up in a
community where educational, cultural, or other opportunities were either plentiful or especially lacking, you might discuss the impact this
had on your development and interests. This should be a discussion of the journey that has led to your decision to seek a graduate
degree.

The statement will be read by the faculty members of the admissions committee.

Some areas that our Applied Masters Students pursue is

•        Government
•        Insurance, Banking and Finance
•        Medical Research Institutions
•        Pharmaceutical Industry
•        Other Industries

Job Titles of Recent Graduates:

•        Financial Analyst
•        Market Researcher
•        Reliability Engineer
•        Research Scientist
•        Statistician
•        Statistical Consultant
•        Statistical Research Analyst


We offer a very small number of guaranteed GSI positions to Applied Master students at the time of admission (about 2 per year).   A few additional GSI positions may become available to Applied Master students each semester, but those are determined term-by-term.  These positions are only open to students who are native speakers of English or whose undergraduate degree is from an institution where instruction is exclusively in English.   

There is no financial aid available for international students whose undergraduate education was not in English.  A very small number of international students may be nominated for an English course that makes them eligible for a GSI position in the second year.  All students must come prepared to cover all expenses for the entire course of study as receiving financial aid is very unlikely.

I hope this helps!
