Thanks for the replies everyone. They're much appreciated.

Hi Caffeinated, Thanks for the reply. My undergrad degree is in Health Management. I've gotten an A in a Public Health course, A- in stats through ANOVA, A in Bioethics, and A's in other health-related courses. I'll also be taking a Health Law class in the Fall, and I'll definitely do my best to get in A in that as well. Taking a Biostats course at BU would be a great idea, and I'll surely look into it! Basically, in all of my courses in relation to Health/Public Health... I've done quite well.

Hi all, I'm a senior in college at the moment and I'll actually be done with school by the spring of 2013. I just have some questions regarding graduate admissions for Masters in Public Health programs with a concentration in Biostatistics. My college career was shaky for the first 2.5 years or so. I took classes on and off at a couple different universities and had inconsistent grades. My first semester I got on the Dean's List, and then had inconsistent results afterwards (probably around a 2.5 GPA overall, largely due to family issues). Since then, I transferred to Northeastern University and have really focused on my schoolwork. I haven't gotten any grades lower than an A-, and have been on the Dean's List every semester since I transferred. I plan on continuing this trend, as school is my #1 priority at the moment and I do not have any outside interference's hurting my schoolwork anymore. My GPA is currently at 3.9. Now, if I graduate with a 3.9 GPA from Northeastern (and a 3.1 or so overall from all schools combined), get a decent GRE score, have good letters of recommendation written, and write a solid personal statement, what are my chances of getting into a good MPH program (with a concentration in Biostatistics)? My choices, in order, would be Boston University, UMass Amherst, University of Maryland, University of Miami, University of South Florida, Ohio State University, and Drexel University. I've also had relevant work experience that involved statistical computing with large data sets, and I just started as position as a Clinical Research Assistant that involves a decent amount of statistics. Any help, advice, or comments would be great. Thanks!
