Thank you so much for your help!

I am a junior currently attending a top 3 liberal arts college (Amherst/Williams/Swarthmore), majoring in Biology and minoring in Statistics. Major GPA: ~3.5 Minor GPA: 3.3 now, might go up a bit but probably still less than 3.5 Relevant math/stat courses: Linear algebra Multivariable calculus Applied univariate and multivariate statistics Will take theoretical multivariate statistics, multivariate statistics II next year - I have also taken a few computer science courses, which I have As in: Data Structures and Algorithms Bioinformatics Also considering taking theory of computation next year Research experience: 1 summer in molecular biology at a research university 2 summers in quantitative genetics at a highly-ranked research university (though it leaned more towards the genetics rather than the quantitative) One of my worries is that my rather low math/stat GPA combined with a light math courseload will keep me out of most programs. If an MS is my end goal, where are reasonable places for a student like me to apply? Other questions: -Should I take real analysis? -Should I consider retaking multivariable calculus if I got a B in it? I did not find the material difficult, but I did not do well on the final exam. -If I think there is some chance that I would later want to pursue a doctorate, should I apply to doctoral programs next year and then drop out? or wait until after the master's to decide? -What should I do in the coming semesters to improve my application?
