cyberwulf Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I think you'd be a solid candidate for most Masters programs in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plsacceptpls Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 So, I've put together a tentative list of program to which I plan to apply: Cornell (NYC program), U Mass, U Pitt, UMD, GWU, Georgetown, Dartmouth (Quant. Biostats), Boston U, Brown, Rutgers Does this seem like a fair assessment of programs for which I would be a competitive candidate, or am I aiming too high?

cyberwulf Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If anything, I think you might be aiming a little low for Masters admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
