I think my problem is I am not focusing on one thing. I did a mix of everything and none of them was very strong. I am hoping to apply for a phd in biostatistics, and I wonder what level of schools I can get in. I am thinking about UCONN, UGA, UPITTS, OSU, PENN STATE, UColorado, Tulane, UMASS, etc. I am also interested in UWM, BU, UNC-Chapel Hill, but I think they are out of my league. Maybe a statistics program will be better for me because my experiences are not very focused?
I appreciate any advice in advance!
