Hi all, I'm a third-year student at a lower-tier Ivy (so not Harvard, Yale, or Princeton). I'm also a domestic female, if that means anything.
GPA: 3.5 in major and overall (evenly split between A-'s and B+'s )
Math: Standard stats major stuff, i.e.
linear algebra, multivariable calculus, ODEs, math stats, real analysis I
CS: Intro to CS, data systems and algorithms (B+ and A- respectively)
Research: 1 summer in a biostat project on campus, 1 summer doing NSF-funded biostat research at similarly ranked uni
Where would I be competitive for master's programs? I'm more interested in applied stats rather than pure stats (especially machine learning). CMU is one place that I'm interested in, but since I don't have that much CS experience/middling grades I'm not sure if I'd be competitive there.
I'm also trying to decide whether to take PDEs next year or theory of computing. Which would be more useful to a student interested in applied stats/math?
