Thank you for your replies. -
I am looking for advice from current/prospective Masters Students in Statistics. I graduated with a poor GPA (3.01) from Cornell due to some health complications and very poor freshman year grades. Furthermore, I did not make many connections with faculty and do not think I will have the best academic LOR. My current employment is not directly related to the Statistics field and I was wondering what are the best ways to augment my application (i.e High GRE scores). How difficult is it to be admitted to Columbia/Northwestern type institutions with low GPA? My future plans are to become a data analyst/data scientist/decision maker Thanks for your help in advance.
