Hi Everyone. I'm trying to come up with a list of schools that are feasible for me after bombing my undergrad gpa as a pre-med underclassman. I'm thinking that GRE and prereq grades can make up for my weak undergraduate performance but I'm not sure if I'm being too optimistic.
Programs Applying: Biostatistics MS
Undergrad Institution: Ivy League Major: Psychology Minor: Biology Undergrad GPA: 3.30 Type of Student: Domestic, Black, Female
GRE: Haven't taken yet but my average based on practice tests is 164V (94%), 167Q (89%)
Relevant Coursework: Taken at Ivy- Calc 1 (C-), Stat 1 (A), Stat 2 (B); Taken at community college post graduation- Calc 1 (A), Calc 2 (A), Calc 3 (A), Linear Algebra (A)
Research/Work Experience: Undergraduate research assistant (2 years doing data collection resulting in 2 authorship for publications), nursing assistant (1 year part time), Clinical research coordinator (2 years full time)
Schools I’m interested in (hoping to stay near the east coast or midwest) :
Reach: Duke, Johns Hopkins, Columbia
Match?: Rutgers, UNC, UMICH, Drexel, Temple
Safety: I'm not sure if anywhere is safe
I would love to hear you guys' thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!
