Hi all, I'm applying to grad school this cycle and I'm lost on where to apply. I'm looking into stat masters and biostat masters/PhDs.
Undergraduate Institution: R1 state school, top 20 stat department, top 100 US News Major: Statistics Minor: Math, Computer programming GPA: 3.87 Type of Student: Domestic Asian female GRE Score: 162Q/159V/4.5 (plan to retake) Math classes: Calc II (A+), Calc III (A), Intro to proofs (A), ODE (A-), Linear algebra (A-), Real analysis I (B), Real analysis II (B) Stat classes: Probability theory (A+), Inference (A-), Regression analysis (B), Experimental design (A+), Survey sampling (A), Bayesian analysis (A-), Nonparametrics (in progress), Time series (in progress) Misc classes: 2 Java intro classes (A-, A), Data structures and algorithms (in progress), C (in progress) Research Experience:
REU in statistical genetics - 2 papers published in biocomputing conference (not first author), presented one
REU working for geophysics prof on Gaussian process emulators - oral presentation at geophysics conference Work/Other Experience:
TA for a statistical computing class for a year, data science industry internship for a summer Awards:
Goldwater scholarship, Full ride undergrad scholarship Letters:
2 REU profs (1 stat, 1 geophysics, both decent), stat prof I took a class from (not as strong)
I'm applying to the stat masters program at my undergrad institution, but not sure where else I could apply for biostat phd programs with my math grades. Any input is appreciated!
