under在哪念的啊?

应该算MAresident了，

You don't have to retake GRE. I applied this year when my GRE already expired. I still got in.

不需要GRE但是这边的统计master确实一般不给奖。不过你可以今早申请tuition waiver，一般能申请到

关于admission好不好拿，偶个人的感觉是，这个系招人有点奇怪，比较倾向于招已经在系里选过课的人。如果一边在系里上课一边申请，成绩过得去，而且不要钱的话，admission就没问题，但是如果没选过课，可能悬点，不过如果以前背景比较强应该就没事。

I suggest you meet some professor in person since you are in MA. It will be helpful.
Good luck.

不是要和prof. do research，是要和prof. 保持良好的关系，简言之，陶瓷

关于中国人申请统计系的多不多，难道同胞们一起上课不是好事情嘛

By professor, I mean the one in charge of admission affairs.
Usually it is the Graduate Advisor who takes care of this, but in some departments, the professors take charge of it in turns. They are called Admission Coordinator or something like that.
You should ask them. I don't think any student here will answer your question precisely.

take过统计课应该help吧

工作了为什么还来统计master啊，干脆phd好了，phd才好找工作呢，pay又高。不然你读了两年书再去找工作，pay跟以前差不多，多郁闷

when you just say Amherst, it is quite referring to the undergrad college within a stone's throw way of Umass^^
8太了解啊.帮你顶~

没有统计master, 不容易申请统计phd

呃。。。桃夭mm说了，没有统计master不容易申请phd，所以你还是先申请master吧。理论上，master的qualify exam，如果你考的分数比较高，申请phd就比较容易。

至于学生quota，偶个人认为如果你不要钱，他们还是愿意要的，何乐而不为。不过你还是问问他们吧，具体情况除了他们管事的，别人谁也不知道啊。

My undergraduate major is not either statistics or maths. Is it possible for me to get enrolled into phd program? Is it difficult to get a phd degree in statistics in amherst? Is the phd applicatio ... [/quote]

"Can I only pay M.A. residential tuition? "

You can cotact Lori Baronas in grad school to confirm, she is the person who has the final say, but as far as I know, you need to be at least green card holder and has lived in MA for more than a year to qualify in-state tuition.
