Hi, I'm a third year undergraduate in Canada studying in a bio/health-related field and doing a minor in mathematics. I'm looking to see how competitive I am (or will be) and what I can do to improve my application for the upcoming year.
School: Pretty well-known University in Canada for the Health Sciences; it's ranked within the top 100 on the TIME University rankings.
GPA: 3.97 in first and second year; 4.0 in math
Math courses taken: Calculus I, II, Advanced Calc I, Linear Algebra I, II, Intro to Stats, and Real Analysis. I'm planning on taking topology and complex analysis next term.
GRE: I'm planning on writing in the summer of 2014 (is that a good time to write it?) Should I write the math GRE too?
Research: I have had two research projects so far, my first in mathematical modelling and the second in bioinformatics. No publications so far.
How competitive will I be to get into the top Biostats program in the States? (ie, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Berkeley, UCLA, Columbia, etc.)
Thank you! Any input and constructive comments are appreciated.
