  1. Yes, I totally agree with you. Thanks for encouraging me. I have sent email to my supervior asking for PhD at UWaterloo. I am not sure whether he will agree with or not because he has many students or maybe there's problem of funding. If not, I can talk with other professors in biostatistics to see if they still have position for new PhD student.
  2. Thanks a lot. That's really helpful. Yes, I should talk with my supervisor or other possible professor at Uwaterloo for my PhD study. At first, I think it's a bit embarrassing if I ask them for PhD but decide to go to other colleages. But that's a good way to make my application safe and I should just tell them where I will apply at same time.
  3. Yes, I agree with you. I used to code in R but I also heard of SAS and Python which is quite hot these days. When I learned Python, sometimes it makes me feel confused about basic setting. Do you think learning other language will sometimes help for application? Or it just makes sence if you want to find a job in pharma/ FDA.
  4. Thanks StatsG0d, I get your points. Yes, I should add NCSU in my list instead of UNC STAT. Do you have any other recommendations for biostat PhD program? I tend to become a faculty in college, but getting a job in industry is also an option for me.
  5. Thanks for help. Yes, Uwaterloo does better than Utoronto in biostatistics, however, my supervisor of co-op program is an associated professor in UToronto. I want to make my list safer so that's reason why I apply Utoronto as well.
  6. Hey guys! I am currently a masters student in Biostatistics and will be applying to Biostatistics PhD programs for Fall 2021 admission. I was wondering if you could help me choose a range of school or give me any adivice about my current list. I would like to apply to programs within top 30 range in both US and Canada, but I am not sure if that is unrealistic or not. I would be appreciated if anyone can give me some helpful advice. Undergrad Institution: Rank around top 40 University of science and engineering in Asia GPA: 3.87 Majors: Math Graduate Institution: University of Waterloo GPA: 3.9 Degree: MS in Biostatistics GRE General Test: Q: 170V: 152W: 3.5 TOFEL: Waive Type of Student: International student Programs Applying: PhD in Biostatistics. Mostly focus on survival analysis and genetic association analysis. Research Experience:  Attended several projects and submitted two papers last month during co-op program. Our work mainly focus on survival and genetic analyisis collaborating with other clinical researchers, 2020. Attended Statistics Student Conference in Canada this year. Plan to submit a report to competition. Worked as TA in two terms, 2019-2020. Honorable Price in Mathematical Contest In Modeling, 2018. Letters of Recommendation: one great letter of recommendation from the professor in my research program. One from currect supervisor in colleage. One from assistant professor in class. My current list: Tier 0: JHU biostat Tier 1: Umich biostat , Umich stat , UNC biostat, UNC stat Tier 2: Wisconsin stat, Wisconsin biostat In data science, UMN stat, UMN biostat, UTeXas MD biostat, OSU stat,PSU stat, Emory biostat, UBC stat, Mcgill biostat Tier 3: UWaterloo biostat, UToronto biostat I think this year will be very competitive applying for PhD in biostatistics. Due to COVID-19, I have confirmed that many schools in my current list do not require GRE for 2021 application. That's why I do not choose to spend much time on getting a higher mark. Thank you in advance for your help!
