American doctoral students studying biostatistics: research direction
The biostatistics major in American universities mainly creates and applies some mathematical methods to study human science, infers the possibility of new disease outbreaks by using spectral analysis technology in statistics, and provides a lot of valuable information for academic circles, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, medical and health institutions and other related organizations.
Main research directions:
Survival analysis (survival analysis)
Longitudinal data analysis (longitudinal data analysis)
Clinical trials and design
American doctoral students studying biostatistics: application difficulty
Among the science and engineering majors with full scholarships, biostatistics is the most difficult.
1, the number of biometric quotations is very small.
Take the biostatistics department of Harvard as an example. In the past, they only offered two full doctoral scholarships to China students every year. In addition, Harvard's masters also recruit China students at their own expense, with two-year MS degrees and nine-month MA degrees, but they are basically people who transfer to other American schools or even have green cards.
2. The biggest competition in biostatistics comes from the United States.
Because of good employment and high salary, many China people in the United States turned to biostatistics. Every year when domestic people are waiting for the offer, there are also a large number of people in the United States waiting anxiously.
In the United States, these people can interview easily without worrying about visa issues, and some even have green cards, which has a great influence on domestic applicants.
Application process of biostatistics for doctoral students in the United States
Because the application process of biostatistics major generally needs to be applied through the unified public health system SOPHAS in the United States, most of them need WES score certification. Because the certification takes a long time, the applicant should arrange the time in advance.
The deadline for applying for biostatistics in American universities is earlier, usually focusing on 12. 1 and 12. 15, so applicants should make preparations as early as possible to distinguish themselves from other majors.
