Qualification PhD Stats

[Stat0612]

So I will be applying for PhD programs this fall/winter and I'm worried about my transcripts. 

GPA: 3.4

Stat GPA: 3.1 (mostly b's in my stat classes)

Calc 1 - C

Calc 2 - B+

currently taking Calc 3 and linear algebra

haven't taken the GRE yet

 

I also had two bad semesters with repeat grades which I believe are shown on my transcripts.

I guess what I'm really worried about is whether my grades in my undergrad courses will hurt my chances of acceptance. I'm applying to UC, UK, OSU, and IU.

hi, well for admission to Phd courses what really matters is a strong research background and good GRE score. So you haven’t lost it all. If your undergrad scores are on the lower side, make sure you compensate with a good GRE score.  Also, highlight your research projects & publications, of course, in relevant field. Further, communicate with professors under whom you want to take up research & discuss your research proposal with them. All this will certainly make your profile strong. Good Luck!
