Hi all. I'm interested in pursuing an MS in Biostatistics (and possibly continuing on to do a PhD). However, I'm not a math or engineering major. I'll graduate with a BA in Cognitive Science with a ~3.6 GPA. I've taken two computer science course as part of my degree, as well as Calculus through multivariable, linear algebra, and a lot of statistics/research methods as part of the psychology portion of my cognitive science degree. Would I be an eligible candidate for a top-tier MS in Biostatistics? Is it mostly contingent on my quant GRE score at this point?

I'm still waiting on a decision from Hopkins Sc.M Biostatistics program. If I am accepted, I'll be sure to share my thoughts!
