NotAnotherStatistic Posted December 7, 2020 Posted December 7, 2020 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?
