Hi everyone,
I am thinking about applying to Biostats PhD programs for fall 2022
Undergrad Institution:
Major: Statistics
GPA: 3.78 (roughly the same within major as well)
GRE: Q: 166 V: 159 W: 6
Type of Student: Domestic white female
Grad Institution:
Major: Biostatistics MS
GPA: ~3.75
Relevant Courses:
Taken in undergrad institution:
Calculus I and II (B/B+), Multivariate calculus (B+), Linear algebra (C+), Statistics I & II (A+/A), Probability (A-), Survival (A), Categorical (A), Stat Computing (A-), Experiment design (A), Linear Models (A), Inference (A-), Sampling (A)
Taken in graduate institution:
Statistics/Biostatistics/Probability sequences (all A's /A- ) and all A's in other statistics courses except a B in Inference ?
Research Experience: Several labs and an REU in undegrad. Been working as a biostatisician for 3+ years at a prestigious institution, 30+ collaborative pubs (several second author), very strong R skills, can get very good rec letters from people well known in the field.
Schools considered:
Would really like some insight into this. I think my grades are lacking, but I have a lot of research experience/coding and applied stats skills. Any suggestion is welcomed!
I am concerned about my undergrad grades and wonder if it is worth applying Thanks!
