  1. @Casorati Thanks for the suggestions! I honestly figured as much. I might just take another year or two to complete a masters in mathematics before applying. If anyone else has thoughts just let me know. Cheers!
  2. Student type: Domestic asian male Applying for: Stats/Biostats PHD Type of Undergrad: University of Utah Major: Biology Undergrad GPA: 3.6 Post-bacc: Math Post-bacc GPA: 4.0 GRE: Q/V/W (165/162/4) Courses: biophysical ecology (A-), Calc II/III (A, A), Linear Algebra (A), Intro Analysis I/II (A,A), Directed Reading Course (A), Intro to Data Structures and Algorithms (A) Future Courses: Abstract Algebra 1/2, Topology 1/2, Real/Complex Analysis LOR: 3 mathematics professors Research Experience: 2 years in biology lab doing simple statistical programming for autoimmune disorder project (normalizing data, using premade R packages to find correlations/statistically significant data) Research Interests: Topological Data Analysis, Statistical Genetics, Mathematical Statistics Questions: Should I even consider applying to statistics programs this fall or would it be better to wait to submit until Fall 2022? The reason I ask is I have more specific interests in TDA and statistical genetics, so I thought maybe having more pure mathematics courses would give me an edge there. I guess I’m just stressed out about whether I should apply broadly this fall or take more courses and solidify my application for next fall. Lastly, given my research interests what are some schools that do TDA and statistical genetics very well? Obviously, there’s CMU, University of Washington, and University of Wisconsin for TDA and University of Michigan for statistical genetics. Beyond that I’m in the dark. Any suggestions on schools or my general application would be appreciated. I know I have a strange situation. Thanks for your time everyone! Edit: I wanted to add my dream job would be working as a staff scientist (statistician) at Broad Institute, Fred Hutch, or some similar type of research center.
