I am planning on applying to MS (maybe possibly PhD if there is a chance) programs in biostats and PhD programs in survey methodology.
1. Do I have a chance at any PhD programs in biostats, if I can get my GRE score up?
2. How badly is the C- in Mathematical Statistics going to hurt? My school won't let me retake it for a grade.
Also I was accepted into on accelerated MS track at UMass Amherst last year
