Just wondering what chances at getting into a top 10 biostats program for a PhD. Some credentials
Institution: Top 60 National
Majors: Mathematics, Economics
GPA: 3.96 (4.0 except one A- in a graduate Mathematical Econ class)
Classes: Calc III (A), Linear Algebra (A), Probability and Statistics (Calc based) (A), ODE (A), Real Analysis (A), Econometrics (A)
Taking Real Analysis II, Linear Algebra II, Math. Stat., Combinatorics which are currently A's
Had a summer research experience in biostatistics through SIBS (Summer Institute in Biostatisitcs) at UofMinn. TC
GRE (General): V-164 Q-163 W-Likely at least 5
Hold multiple jobs on campus (grader, math tutor)
Working on empirical econ thesis
Three solid letters from 1) Math. Statistics teacher 2) Real Analysis teacher 3) Thesis advisor
Im worried about my GRE Q score being 2 pts below the average at these programs and I am especially interested in UofMinn TC and curious if I have a reasonable chance (enough to justify applying to)
Duke, Johns Hopkins, Washington
Thanks
