I'm a freshman at Virginia Tech, and yes, I know it's way too early for me to be worried about graduate school, but I'm just a tad curious.As of right now, I'm pursing two degrees in Statistics and Computational Modeling and Data Analytics (CMDA). I'm leaning towards pursuing a graduate degree in Data Science. My top 3 choices as of right now are Stanford, UC Berkeley, and the University of Washington. I got a 4.0 GPA last semester but I feel like the chances of me achieving that again, especially this semester are extremely low. I know I have at least six semesters left of classes to take after this one, but I just wanted to know if a GPA around 3.0-3.6 this semester is digging a hole for myself in regards of getting into one of my top 3 Graduate programs. I'm also really interested in doing Undergraduate Research while I'm here at Virginia Tech if that's of any importance. Just wondering what the "acceptance rate" and standards are for these three Graduate schools for their Statistics/Data Science departments?Thanks!
