Stats_hopeful Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Institution: Top 10 university (undergrad & grad) Major: Molecular Biology BS; Microbiology MHS GRE: Haven't taken yet GPA: Undergrad: 3.4; Grad: 4.0Relevant courses: Statistical Reasoning I & II (basically intro stats for public health masters); Data Science specialization Coursera - JHU (Mainly stats, regression models, etc.) I'm hoping to go back to school, mostly in a public health/biology context, for another Master's to develop a more firm statistical background. I've been working in research and I'm planning on doing some data/statistical analysis with our datasets this fall before I submit an application. I feel like I'm in a weird situation as I haven't had much of a math background during my undergrad and some light stats background during my initial Master's program and am relying on work/research experiences and online coursework in analytics. I'm particularly concerned about the calculus/linear algebra requirements as I waived my calculus requirements via AP courses in college and had more applied stats coursework post-college. Should I try to enroll in some math courses part time (mainly Linear Algebra I suppose. Jumping straight into a Calc III equivalent maybe a bit out of my league for now) Edited June 28, 2017 by Stats_hopeful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward130603 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Given your previous schools, i'm assuming you are looking for a well ranked program, which will most likely require multivariable calc and linear algebra. Are u planning to apply this year? Don't think you have time to take both of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
