I am confused as to what all Universities i should apply too ! I went throught the rankings and decided on some 20 universities. ( Not going to apply to each one of them )
UNC- Gillings
Emory University - Rollins
University of Minnesota- Twin Cities
Boston University
University of Pittsburg
George Washington University
University of Illinois - Chicago
University of Iowa
Ohio State University
University of Alabama
University of Texas, Houston
University of Arizona
U Mass
University of Florida
Rutgers
University at Buffalo - SUNY
Colorado School of public health
University of Georgia
North Western University, Vanderbilt, Michigan, UC Davis, South Carolina
Which ones can i apply to ? Which ones are too ambitious and are too realistic? Based on my profile what are the universities that i will get accepted into ?
Funding is a concern of mine. Are there any universities where masters funding is common? I would be open to normal stats programs as well. Any suggestions on ways to fund your masters besides loans and assistantships?
