Do you think explaining that in my letter will help/matter at all? Also, I'm thinking DE, time series, and real analysis for the fall. Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks so much for responding! I'm not a typical student. I didn't become a stats major until my third year in my undergrad so I only took the required math courses to graduate on time. I got my BS last May but I know I need a better math background for a PhD so I went back for Calc 3 and Linear at a minimum. My goal is to get in a program by next fall (2017) so I'm going to most likely add a few classes this fall to my transcript. Also, I'm not geographically free as I just purchased a home so I'm only applying to those four schools which, other than OSU, I'm pretty sure are not ranked in top 50.

So I will be applying for PhD programs this fall/winter and I'm worried about my transcripts. GPA: 3.4 Stat GPA: 3.1 (mostly b's in my stat classes) Calc 1 - C Calc 2 - B+ currently taking Calc 3 and linear algebra haven't taken the GRE yet I also had two bad semesters with repeat grades which I believe are shown on my transcripts. I guess what I'm really worried about is whether my grades in my undergrad courses will hurt my chances of acceptance. I'm applying to UC, UK, OSU, and IU.
