Yeah I'm going to take Real Analysis as an undergrad regardless; my question is whether or not taking it in senior fall would be too late from an admissions perspective. But thanks for your input about your cohort !

That's some pretty darn good schools haha. You obviously don't have to, but do you mind sharing your other math/stats/science coursework and grades, either through here or private messaging? Thanks a ton!

@another_applicant thanks for your input and congrats! Have you decided on which program to attend yet?

Hey GradCafe, I'm a college junior who's been lurking on this forum for a while. I'm doing a Mathematics/Statistics double major with aspirations to apply to Biostatistics PhD (preferably) and Masters programs next year. However, I have not taken real analysis, which from what I've seen is an important course if one's shooting for the top programs. Math courses I've taken: Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, ODE, grad-level Numerical Analysis, Probability, Mathematical Statistics, grad-level Applied Stochastic Processes Stat courses I've taken: Regression Analysis, Bayesian Statistics, Statistical Computing Would senior fall semester be too late to take Real Analysis I? I could potentially take the course at Columbia or Berkeley this summer, but I'm not sure if this is the most efficient way to spend my summer considering I could also do research at my school while studying for the GRE as an alternative tl;dr Would it be perfectly okay from a PhD admissions perspective to take Real Analysis I in the fall of my senior year, or would I be better off taking it this summer to receive my grade on it before beginning my applications. Thank y'all for your help! pulsars @cyberwulf because you seem extremely knowledgeable about Biostatistics programs based on your past posts ;p sincere apologies if my tagging bothers you haha
