Graduate admissions procedures may appear confusing with lots of duplication, but they make more sense once you understand that there are two application processes, one to the Graduate School, and one to the School of Statistics.
You apply for admission to the Graduate School; only the Graduate School can admit you to the University.You apply for admission and financial aid to the School of Statistics; only the School of Statistics can admit you to a Statistics graduate program and grant financial aid.
Recognizing that there are two parallel applications will make the procedures and scheduling seem more rational.
