The point about stats is very true. If you read any papers nowadays they are littered with statistical analysis.

Almost all the sciences will rely heavily on statistics. The only way you time you can get away from statistics is when testing a theory with solid mathematical underpinnings, automatically excluding economics and psychology, and when in controlled laboratory setting, automatically excluding astronomy. Realistically only select, well-developed branches of physics, chemistry, and biology don't make heavy use of statistics. In other words statistics is the norm, not the exception.
