Fall course selection for PhD applications

[totoro1984]

Hi everyone,

I'm applying to stat/biostat PhD programs this fall. I'm debating between taking a public health applied statistics class or a multivariate analysis class. I'm leaning towards taking the applied statistics class, but would admissions committees look at multivariate analysis more favorably? I am not taking any other math classes this term.

Thanks!

I think admissions committees would look at multivariate analysis more favorably than the applied class.

Both of them won't matter much so take what interests you.
