hey Amee,

im on the course already this year, started semester 2 this week. Its a really good course, and Soton has some strong links with many major pharmacuetical companie which will benefit you (and me :P ) when you graduate.

if you can get onto this course i fully recommend you do it :)

if you have any questions, feel free to catch me on msn.


Best of luck!
Tom

yea, i got accepted onto the course, and i got a studentship also. So im well happy :D

do you use msn at all? it would be alot easier than this lol

You are at Nottingham Dan? Where were you from originally?

im still not sure what i want to do exactly. Thats part of the reason for doing a masters, in order to gain more experiance in anumber of areas. Maybe i will like one area more than others and can look into that as a potential career.

Im looking forward to the challenge, but it is going to be just that, a challenge. We will have to see how it all works out.

Im 95% confident that statistics is the right choice for me

lol! you have no idea how many times i have heard that question.

the one thing i DO NOT want to be is a teacher.

haha, yes we do mate!!

its an amazing subject, so rewarding. Yet kind of hard to explain to people. I tell them i do statistics and they normally say..... oh so you record how many shots on target manchester utd had vs aston villa?

urgh lol

Hey Dan,

Not yet, i got an email saying they had recieved my application and references. They have forwarded it to the appropriate school. So im sat here awaiting a decision now. Kinda nervous but time will tell.

Thanks for asking Dan, i appreciate all your help.

Tom

Hey again Dan.

Stats is by far the greatest subject i have ever studied. I enjoy it so much. I think the bug comes from passion for American sports. They keep stats on alot of things in their sports and i love to model situations to forecast/predict an unknown outcome. The satisfaction of getting the new observation with those 95% CI Intervals is awesome lol.

Thanks for your well wishes, i will let you know how i get on. If succesful im sure i will call on your assistance when i get stuck haha.

Thanks again chap.

Tom

Yes i noticed that Dan, i have applied to Manchester and Essex also as backups but Southampton would be great if i could get in there.

I decided i didnt want to goto lancaster as its quite far north, and its a bit grey and dreary up there in my opinion (no offence intended to anyone living/studying there though)

Wait until tomorrow now and phone Soton i guess.

Thanks for your help guys!

hi guys,

I have decided to apply to Southampton University. MSc in Statistics with applications in Medicine. Seems like a decent setup and the course looks good, and theres the added bonus of being by the seaside lol.
Im just worried i wont get accomodation now though :(

Tom

I know that Warwick is ranked very highly with regard to statistics but what about Lancaster? Why, in your opinion, is it a good place to study?

Tom

Hi guys.
Dont all shoot the guy please :) i have just graduated in Mathematics and Statistics (2:1, they appealed for me but i was 1.3% shy of the first, grrr) and was looking to continue onto a MSc somewhere.

I have found courses at; Manchester, London School of Hygiene, Warwick, Lancaster, Essex, Kent, Leiceester and Southampton.

Do any of you guys know of a good Statistics course, or can any MSc Statistics students give me their opinions on the course they are studying at the University they are in.

I appreciate any help with this. Thanks in Advance

Tom
