anyone know about masters program funding at harvard? (Biostats)

yes Pitt im in the same boat..

Hi, I am a domestic student applying to Biostatistics PhD/Masters Big Ten University, Major: stats minor: math, honors college overall gpa: 3.734 Stats Courses: many stats classes including 4 graduate level courses (biostats I (4.0), biostats II (taking tis spring), Advanced Statistics for biologists (4.0), sample surveys (4.0) . overall i will have taken 10 stats courses (4 graduate level). Math courses: calcII (4.0) multivariate calculus (4.0) mathematical biology (3.0) linear algebra (2.5) abstract algebra (2.0) analysis (taking this spring) Computer science/ statistical software: extensive use of R, SAS and SPSS. Computer science course in Databases and a course in Programming Research: -3 years in a Microbiology and Molecular Genetics Lab. (through a NSF Sponsored Mathematical Biology Program). Some highlights include a first place award at a poster presentation and second author of a paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science for my work on a project. -senior honors thesis GRE 167 Q 159 V 4.0 AW My biggest concern is my grade in linear algebra and abstract algebra. However i took these courses very early on in my undergraduate education and am confident i would perform better in these courses now. My 3 LOR should all be solid. My ultimate goal is a phd so i am applying for PhD programs, but am willing to complete a masters degree first. Here are the schools i plan to apply: Michigan Harvard UNC Washington John Hopkins Iowa Minnesota Ohio State Cincinnati Penn Brown Wisconsin What are my chances for these schools for PhD/MS? thanks!
