Hi everyone,
I am from engineering background (Civil), and I am planning to apply for the master’s program in biostatistics. I was working in a consultancy firm for the past 2 years. I had studied math in my first three semesters as Engineering math-I, II and III. I am also waiting for the evaluation of my grades from WES. Considering the nature of my application, do I have any chance of getting in or am I wasting my time trying? If anybody could suggest me some colleges then it would be a great help. Thank you so much for your help in advance.
Type of Student: International Asian Male
Courses/Background
Engineering math I
Differential calculus-I, Differential calculus-II, Matrix algebra, Multiple integrals, Vector calculus.
Engineering math II
Ordinary differential equations, series solution and special functions, laplace transform, Fouries series and partial differential equation, application of partial differential equations.
Engineering math III
Functions of complex variable-I , Numerical Techniques – I &II
Statistical Techniques I -Moments, Moment generating functions, Skewness, Kurtosis, Curve fitting, Method of least squares, Fitting of straight lines, Polynomials, Exponential curves etc., Correlation, Linear, non –linear and multiple regression analysis, Probability theory
Statistical Techniques II- Binomial, Poisson and Normal distributions, Sampling theory (small and large), Tests of significations: Chi-square test, t-test, Analysis of variance (one way) , Application to engineering, medicine.Time series and forecasting (moving and semi-averages), Statistical quality control methods, Control charts.
Language
I had also done a lab in statistical and numerical techniques in C language in my second year.
I have taken online classes in R and Python(Coursera,edX), but I don’t know whether they hold some value or not.
GRE scores: 164Q; 155 V; 4.5 W
