  1. Thank you all for the responses! What would be my chances of getting into a reputable Epidemiology program given that I complete my Masters? Would admissions in an Epidemiology PhD program perhaps be less competitive (at a school like Columbia or CUNY in New York) with my stats and continued research experience as a Data Analyst (Clinical Research)? I also agree that my GPA will be a limiting factor to my applications. I will try best to compensate with a better GRE score.
  2. I am very interested in pursuing biostatistics PhD for this coming year (2020). I realize I have a low gpa score but have a strong research record/work experience to compensate. I would really appreciate honest feedback about my chances for graduate school this coming year given that I can get very strong LORs. Undergrad Institution: Top 10 LAC Major: Computer Science and Statistics GPA: 3.56 Student: Domestic POC, female Courses: Intro to Stat Modeling (A-), Intro Computer Science I (B+), Multivariable Calculus (A-), Intermediate Statistics (A-), Intro Computer Science II (B+), Linear Algebra (B-), Probability (B), Spatial Statistics (B+), Data Structures and Algorithms I (A-), Databases (A-), Theoretical Statistics (B+), Computer Systems (B+), Networks & Cryptography (A+), Data Structures and Algorithms II (B), Advanced Data Analysis (B+), Machine Learning (A-), Mobile Computing (B+).
