Hey Everyone, I was accepted into the MS biostatistics program at Tulane. I wanted to know if anyone had any experience or opinions on the program? 

 

Also, I am a bit nervous about my odds at other programs. I'll paste my info off SDN. Do I have a  chance at MS biostatistics programs such as Harvard, JHU?
