Thanks for the reply. As I was checking out these schools, I was wondering if you could provide insight into what the distinction (if there is any) between the biostats and stats programs?

Student Type: Domestic Asian Male Undergrad + Masters: Top 3 University with (a lot of) Grade Inflation Major: Mathematics (Masters in Statistics) GPA: 3.85 (3.93 Masters) Relevant Courses: Math: Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Ordinary Differential Equations, Applied Linear Algebra , Complex Analysis, Analysis I , Groups and Rings, Galois Theory, Graduate Analysis I, Analysis on Manifolds, Graduate Probability I, Functional Analysis, Analysis II (measure theory) Stats: Mathematical Statistics, Stochastic Processes I and II, Regression Models and ANOVA, Time Series Analysis, PhD Level Statistical Learning I and II, Applied Linear Models I, II, and III (PhD Level, taking this year). GRE: 169 Q, 166 V, 5 W Research: 2 years in a research lab working with a lesser known professor on evolutionary genomics. 4 months during the summer working on applied statistics research at a gov. lab. Honors thesis in Math in probability theory Various expository final project papers for classes I've taken Letters of Recommendation: 2 letters that are hopefully strong from my thesis advisor and professor who I worked with for 2 years. 1 letter from my undergrad advisor who taught an upper division undergrad course that I've taken. Considering that my university has a lot of grade inflation, I was a bit concerned in the GPA department. I was also a little shaky about the research experience that I've had; I don't know how much is "enough", especially since I've had no real publications that have come out of it! I wanted to get some suggestions on which programs it would be feasible to apply to with my background. Thanks!
