Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here has experience applying to Biostatistics Ph.D programs. This is one of my end goals after the M.P.H. at Hopkins this next year. My profile is located below. Obviously, I would need to re-take the GRE to get a perfect score in the Quant section, along with, most likely, a formal Calculus III course and Probability course.
Thanks for anyone's help in advance!
Alittle about my background:
1) Graduated from college May 2012, majored in Biochemistry/Economics, took all medical school pre-reqs between September 2007 - May 2009 (Overall & Science GPA = 3.65). Resident of Maryland.
2) Taken lots of upper-level economics, chemistry, and biology courses with A's (Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Advanced Organic Chemistry, Cancer Biology). I've taken two Psychology courses, but no Sociology courses.
3) For the Biostats Ph.D, I've taken several upper-level applied mathematics courses (Math Economics, P. Chem, Game Theory, Econometrics), Linear Algebra, Calculus I & II. Have not taken Calc III or Probability.
My profile is below:
Undergrad School: Loyola University Maryland (Graduated May 2012)

- Volunteered at 3 separate hospitals in Baltimore area - 2 years total
- Started, and was president of, my school's chapter of Hillel - 4 years
- Research:

2) Organometallic chemistry (undergrad credit) - 5 months
3) Oral infectious disease (post-undergrad, UMD Dental School) - 7 months
4) Economic modeling (post-undergrad, NIST internship) - 2 months
