sl1218 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, I graduated in December 2020. I'm a pre-veterinary student but have been considering about applying for an MS in Biostatistics. However, I'm very concerned about my GPA. Here is my profile: Undergrad Institution: Top 100 Uni in CAMajor(s): Biological Sciences/pre-vetCumulative GPA: 3.09 Major GPA: 3.08 Type of Student: Domestic asian female GRE: Plan on taking it sometime this year Made it to the Dean's List one semester but that's about it Relevant Courses: Calculus I: AP Credit Calculus II: D -> A Calculus III: Currently taking it at a local CC, current grade is a B+ Linear Algebra: Plan on taking it next semester Intro calculus-based probability and statistical inference: Not sure if I need to take it because the schools I've looked into only require up to Linear Algebra Some statistics courses I took during undergrad: Intro to Scientific Data Analysis: A Stat Scientific Data Analysis: A Math Modeling for Bio: B Biostatistics: A Work Experience: Currently I only have experiences working at 3 different veterinary clinics. Not sure if I will be able to find any related to biostatistics by the time I apply. Research Experience: None Additional Information: I had a rough start in the first two years of college, had family issues (had to take care of sick family members) and ended up with a D+ in Calculus II and D in General Chem II, both were from freshman year. I retook Calculus II at my uni and got an A, and retook General Chemistry II at a community college and got a B. I have an upward trend in my cumulative GPA following my freshman year but the classes I've taken mostly are relevant to the biological sciences major. I also graduated a semester early but I don't think that's very relevant. Question: Do I stand any chance of getting into a biostatistics program? Any recommendations on list of schools, relevant courses I still need to take, or anything would be much appreciated!
