About me:  My goal is to get into a PhD program in Statistics or Biostatistics to do research in health/sustainability/other environmental topics. Though, I am not sure if my GPA/scores are good enough, so I am also considering Masters programs.

Applying to UCD, UCSB, & Carnegie Mellon. I am very open to going international and I'm considering University of Utrecht and ETH Zurich. Any other suggestions for (US/non-US) schools are welcome.

Thank you for reading. Please be honest and constructive.
