In 2018 I decided to get a bachelor’s degree so that I could apply to medical school. However, after taking a few math and statistics courses, I realized that I was more passionate about quantitative approaches in health research, so I have decided to pursue a master’s degree in biostatistics. Since my background is unusual, I would appreciate any advice on my situation and my university choices. Also, I am curious to know what kind of explanations I should include in my SOP.
