Fallen

Do you have any suggestions? I was under the impression that most of the programs I listed were ranked in the lower tiers. I don't think any of them are top 30 in the US.

I've gotten B's in all the courses you listed except MAT137, I just barely passed. I'm still finishing up the second year math and stats requirements, so I haven't taken any of the upper level courses except MAT334 (Complex Variables). I got a B-. I still have 4 full semester to go (not including this semester). The University of Toronto Admission requirements page is a bit confusing. A lot of the Canadian schools are, actually. They all only give a minimum required GPA for the last two years (I'm assuming, by UofT's system, last 10 credits). If the case is that a very large portion of my admission is based on this GPA and not my GPA over my entire academic career, I am less concerned, as I am confident I can get better grades from now on (like I said, I've slacked up epically, I rarely attended class or did homework, just showed up for tests after reading lecture summaries). Xero: The programs I am looking at are: Mathematical Finance, Stats/Biostats - University of Toronto Stats/Biostats- Mcgill University Stats- U of Waterloo Applied Math- CUNY Stats/Biostats- Columbia (after UofT, this is my preferred option) Statistics- U of California (Davis, La or Santa Barbara) Applied Math- Georgia Tech Statistics- George Washington All for Masters. There may be a few more, but basically, outside of the two Canadian schools, I am not looking at top ranking schools. Thanks

Hello, first post so I hope I'm not violating any rules. I'm currently in my third year in an undergraduate degree in Stats. at the University of Toronto. I would like to attend graduate school once I finish my degree in either applied math or statistics. If I stay in Canada, it would be a masters program, I am not 100% sure how things work in the States. My problem is, my GPA is horrendous right now. I have a 2.0 currently. Not including the current semester, I have 2 full semester left, and plan on spending another 2 semesters working on grades. However, even if I ace every course I take from now on, I will only finish with ~3.00 GPA. I slacked off really bad my first 2.5 years of school, and that has really screwed me. Is there anything else I can do to improve my chances? Thanks
