Hi,
Thank you for your reply. My school is around 60 on the USNews ranking. I would preferably like to stay in biology since I have a little background in it, but I'd say I have interests in probability theory as well. I have no preference for geographic location or size ?

Hello everyone. I only recently became interested in applying to a PhD program in the fall (in either stats or biostatistics) and have no idea where to begin. I'm a bit worried that my GPA might hold me back (due to a lot of bad grades in less relevant courses), but willing to do a masters degree first if it makes up for it. Where can I apply to? any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
