But I was accustomed to graduate math/stat exams which were virtually all theoretical essay-type proofs

I don't think I had anything but take-home exams at the graduate level. A lot more fair IMO.
I specialized in abstract algebra. I will always remember my mother's expression when I tried to explain the beauty in non-associative algebra to her. I thought she would send me to the nuthouse < bg >. I was not too crazy about statistics because I felt they were too much an applied science when I was doing my BSc. I changed my opinion after reading Mathematical Statistics by Bickel and Doksum, but not enough to work in the field.
Do you know Francois Collin? He has a PhD in Stats from Berkeley and, has far as I know, he is still working in Washington.
