Programming I and II, data structures, Data Science, Algorithms (Next semester)

Letter of Recommendations:

Two professors with whom i worked on a research with (they think highly of me), I will ask Computational statistics professor for another

Notes: 

Hey guys! I'm mainly applying to PhD programs in statistics/biostat. I am applying to following programs.

Target: Penn State, NC State, Texas A&M, Michigan State

Reach: UC Irvine, UC Davis, Virginia Tech, University of Pitt

Safety: UT Dallas, University of Cincinnati

Do you guys think I can get into any of the target or reach schools? Can you add other unis that you think I should apply?
