suggestions for good Biostat programs in California

[Agun]

we are moving to California shortly and I want to apply for Biostat PhD. Here is my complicated profile

I already have a masters in Statistics and I dont have straights A's in my stat courses.

I did well in survival analysis (+), longitudinal analysis (A+), calculus (A+)

but not so great in some courses like statistics theory, advanced calculus (B, B+). (took 5 graduate level courses in that semester with teaching assistantship)

My GRE scores are also not so great (working full time)- 160 in Quant and 150 in Verbal.

I have 5 years of work experience as a biostatistician at a reputed cancer center and have 3 very good recommendation letters and I am an international applicant.

Applying for :UC Berkeley (biostat) - I know it is a reach

UC Davis (undecided whether I should apply to statistics or Biostatistics) any suggestions?

Can you please suggest any other schools for me....more in the san francisco area

thanks so much!!

any advice?

Stat admission for Davis is probably going to be more difficult than Bios. I think you can apply to both - though they might wonder why you are. That said the Bios department at Davis is "small", so competition to get in is going to be tough.

As for others I mean really any program at one of the UC's should suffice if you are set on going to California.

Anyone heard from Davis Biostat?  It is so late now but there still isn't any result in the result board.
