Hello, TGC! I'm really new.
I'm graduating a year early (because I don't plan on paying a year's tuition for two classes), and I do really want to go to grad school for Biomathematics or Mathematical Biology.
So, without further ado;
White Female, 20, NC Resident
cGPA: 3.295 (which is going up, I promise)
Math GPA: 3.579
Classes completed: Calc I (, Calc II and III (A's), Probability and Stats I (A), Probability and Stats II ©, History of Math (A).
Currently taking: A trifecta; Linear Algebra, Modern Algebra, and Advanced Stat Methods.
GRE: 158V/161Q on a practice test from Kaplan without studying. I'm going to crank it out and probably take it in October or November.
ECs: I have research related to my History of Math class and I'm currently writing something up in the hopes I can be published. I presented at a symposium my college holds last year and was invited to do it again this year. I may end up president of the Math/ITS club this year, and I was a founding member of the quiz bowl team.
LoRs: The Math department is small where I'm at, so the professors know me. I think I can get solid letters from three of them here.
Programs I'm considering: NCSU, Duke (it's a stretch), UNC-CH, UF, and FSU right now.
So, what do you think? Am I screwed? Should I get a master's first? Thanks for reading!
Trying to decide on programs, would appreciate your advice.

Anatomy related modeling sounds more appealing to me.
I've decided to take the fourth year here; math majors here in general don't have a lot of extra classes. I could take analysis, though.
I have credit for Basic Biology, both semesters of General Chemistry, and I got a C in Organic I.
I'm currently in Programming I, and I'm thinking of taking more of them.
