Suggestions for MS Biostat & Evaluation

[figuringitout1]

Hey all! 

I'm looking for advice on where to apply, and an idea of where I'd get into for Fall 2020. I’m looking for schools that also have a PhD program in case I decide to keep going after Master's. I know my grades are not the highest and my GRE isn’t the best either, but I’m hoping I still have a chance. Thanks for your help!

Undergrad Institution: Big state school
Major(s): Statistics & Math
Minor(s): n/a
GPA: 3.758

Type of Student: Domestic white female

GRE General Test:
Q: 159 (70%)
V: 153 (60%)
W: 4.5 (81%)

(Taking again soon, hoping to bring Q to 80%) 
GRE Subject Test in Mathematics:
M: N/a

TOEFL Score: N/a
 

Programs Applying: MS in Biostatistics

 

Research Experience: Did a Summer institute in biostatistics (SIBS) Program
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: STEM Scholarship, deans list (all semesters but 1), university scholarship, math honor society, scholars program 
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Math grader

Letters of Recommendation: Professor for two of my stat courses (knows me well), instructor from SIBS (worked on research project together), mentor from STEM scholarship (knows me extremely well, but not in stat). 

Math/Statistics Grades:  Calc I (AP), Calc II (B+), Vector Calc (A), Statistical Methods I and II (A, A),  Linear Algebra (B+), Probability (B), Math Stat (B), Intro to  Experimental Design (A), Transition to Adv. Math (A), Vector Analysis (A), Algebraic Structures (C)

Currently taking: Theory of Statistical Inference, Computing in Statistics, Big Data Analytics, Analysis, and Ordinary Differential Equations 

(Also have 2 transfer courses in biostat from SIBS program both with A's)
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: Graduating a year early, almost all math and stat classes are 500-level with lots of theory

Applying to Where: 

Duke

Colorado - Denver

UNC

Boston (MS or MA)

Emory

Tulane

Brown

Probably some other (pls help)
