  1. Well, in general, public schools seem to be the cheapest and their RAships usually waive off some part of the tuition. The opposite is true for Ivies. I think you have a pretty strong profile. Make sure that you get a good quant score (at least 166) in the general GRE and to satisfy any requirements that the school may have like Calc 1-3 and Linear Algebra. My SOP read like a research statement and I got in, so I don't think it can hurt to have clear research interests as long as they are relevant. Also, do you intend to go for a Ph.D. after your Master's or industry? For the latter, you can consider borrowing from Prodigy etc. since Biostats jobs tend to pay fairly well.
  2. Hey, if funding is a concern, you should look at Vanderbilt University. They offer 70-80% tuition waiver and almost all students get assistantships. However, it's a highly selective program with only 4 people admitted each year. I would stay away from Ivies if I were you. They charge a bomb and RAships don't waive off tuition in-general. Regarding the universities in your list: 1. Harvard - I received a 37.5k scholarship from them but even then my cost of attendance is coming out to be around 60-70k. 2. UNC - There are plenty of assistantships available due to UNC being in the research triangle but I'm not sure about the tuition waiver part. I did not certainly receive any. 3. UMinn - It can be pretty cheap if you get assistantships. I think almost all your tuition is waived off if you work a certain number of hours as a TA/RA. Check out their financial aid page. 4. Columbia - Very limited scholarships and as expensive as Harvard (without scholarship). Also, it would be helpful if you mentioned your stats in your initial post along with your citizenship.
  3. Hey, I think you'd get better advice if you mentioned your background and research/work interests.
  4. Hey guys, here's my list: Harvard (SM. in Health Data Science): Accepted Brown (ScM Health Data Science): Pending
