@GoPackGo89 Do you think I'd have a good shot there?

@bayessays @Bayesian1701 Thank you! I'll take some of the reaches off of my list and focus on schools in the middle

@bayessays @Bayesian1701 Are there any lower tier schools that you would recommend then that would be a good match for my profile? Thanks!

@bayessays I was planning on taking the GRE again over the summer and definitely think I could get a higher score. However, I was one of a few people on applied paper. Does that badly affect my application then?

@Bayesian1701 What schools off of that list do you believe I have a good shot at getting into then? And how big of a deal do you believe the lower grades in prob. theory, math stat, and real analysis are to an admissions committee? Thanks for your advice!

Hi guys, I am looking at apply to PhD programs in statistics for the upcoming fall 2019 cycle, and was hoping you could give me some input on whether I would be a good contender at the schools I'm considering applying to.
