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 Graduate Program in 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 support to the Graduate Program in Statistics; only the Program in Statistics can admit you to a Statistics degree program and grant financial support.

Recognizing that there are two parallel applications will make the procedures and scheduling seem more rational.
