I got accepted into UNC MS Biostats yesterday. I didn't expect to hear back from them so soon given that I only submitted my application on December 15. Before I heard back from them, I was thinking about applying to SUNY Buffalo and Colorado U. Now I am unsure whether to still submit my application since these programs seem much weaker compared to UNC. The only reason I would even consider these other programs is if UNC offers me no funding at all, but because they got back to me so quickly I hope to receive some funding from them, I am not sure. I would really appreciate some suggestions.
I am still applying to Duke, Brown, and JHU and have already applied to UMich, BU, and Emory.
