PhD Epidemiilogy profile for 2016

[lyton80]

I wish to have a candid evaluation of my chances of entering into a PhD program in Biostatistics or Epidemiology. GRE Q 156 V 152, A 4.5. GPA for MPH was 3.75. Have one publication.

Any safe schools to consider?

At least for biostatistics, your GRE Q score is a little low...I would imagine most PhD programs would expect at least a 160+ score on that.  I would try to see if you could improve your score a little bit there to have a better shot at most places.  Not exactly sure how important it would be fo Epidemiology, however.
