Thank you so much for your advice! I appreciate your help!

Hello bayessays, Thank you for your suggestion! I would probably apply for 4/5 schools for biostats and 4/5 schools for stats. As you said, I may choose Michigan, Columbia, Yale, Minnesota for biostats and others for stats. Actually, I am also thinking about whether I should apply UMich for biostats or stats. Also, do you think is this a good idea to apply for UCB for biostats? I know it would be very competitive for me. Thank you again for your patience!
