Programs Applying: Statistics and Biostatistics PhD
 
Research Experience: Summer data analysis in a biology lab, haven't done much, only used basic lm and glm. Another biostat related machine learning summer research in an ivy school, may publish paper, not sure if it can be first author
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: 2 years Dean's list for undergrad, tuition fellowship for MS program
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: tutored for a year, TAed for a year+. Both are for introductory stat undergraduate classes. 
Letters of Recommendation: 1 my advisor for my master program, took his class and got an A. 2 chair of the department, took his class and got an A. 3 research supervisor from the ivy school  
Math/Statistics Grades:  Have taken a good amount of undergraduate math courses, got mostly A's, only 2 B+. Have taken master level probability and statistics (Casella & Berger) (A). Also took some applied statistics courses on both undergrad and grad levels. 
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: currently in a stat master program, and plan to take two PhD level probability and inference in Fall 2019
 
I have posted my months ago and based on the advice, I revised my school list. I want to further narrow down my list and pick the most reasonable on, so please help me out:
Reach: UCLA (stat or biostat?) Minnesota (biostat)
Match: Duke(biostat) Rutgers (stat or biostat?) BostonU(biostat) UCSD(biostat) UCI(stat) UC Davis(stat or biostat?) UT Austin(is this a small program?)
Safe: GWU(stat) UConn(stat)
 
There are several schools that I'm not sure how to choose between their biostat and stat. UC Davis and Rutgers even have biostat track under stat. 
Other programs I am considering:
UMD biostat and bioinformatics seems like a really new program, I wonder if anyone has ever heard about it?
UTHealth has a biostat under public health and another one that's collaborate with MD Anderson, anyone know anything about these two programs?
