Thanks for the reply! I thought my background (especially that C in cal I...) wasn't strong enough to apply for Harvard and would definitely be rejected, do you truly think I should give it a try?

Hi, I am currently preparing my application for master's degree in Biostatistics. I am wondering if my background is good enough to apply for a few top ten programs since I received a C in Calculus I, which worries me a lot (however, I received A+ in Calculus II: Multivariate Calculus). I appreciate any advice, thank you!
