Be Brutal (Profile Eval)

Be Brutal, Be Honest. 

More detailed repost.

 I'm applying to UC Davis M.S. Biostatistics, UC Davis M.S. Statistics--data route, UC Santa Cruz-M.S. Scientific Computing and Applied Mathematics, and UC Santa Barbara M.S. in Statistics--Data Route.

Undergrad GPA: 3.62/4

School: UCLA - domestic student, female (in a underrepresented minority group if this detail is relevant)

Major: Computational Systems and Biology 

GRE: Quant: 163, Verbal: 158, AW:4.5 

Undergrad GPA: 3.62/4

 

I have taken upper division statistics classes, computer science classes, and biology classes (including a lot of computational modeling classes). Also took bioinformatics and machine learning in genetics classes which focus on applied theory of statistics.   I know python, R, sql, C++ and Bash

I have generally good letters of rec: two of the professors know me as their student and on a personal level. They are both distinguished if this detail is relevant. I am working with on research the third. Research/experience: About 1.5 years, I have no publications but have experience writing statistical programs (my specific lab focuses on machine learning techniques to define complex relations etc etc). 

My personal history statement aligns well with my statement of purpose.

I would be reasonably surprised if you didn't get in everywhere.

I guess I'm being a bit paranoid. Thank you! This will save me some money

What might be some good safety schools?
