Harvard's Biostatistics masters Program

Graduate School
1

<p>Hello, I am going to be applying to a variety of masters programs in biostatistics. I am wondering if anyone has first hand experience with harvard's program and could give me some validations or criticisms. I have no interest in a PhD. </p>

<p>As well as this I was wondering what the qualifications were for Harvard Biostats at the masters level, I was told by Columbia virtual open house I was an above average applicant for their program with a 3.7 GPA, (64,63) GRE, Harvard REU in engineering, San Diego Super Computer REU (Perl programming), worked at three labs (still at 1), internship at a start up and an internship in Uganda for an NGO. I use Perl and python daily and use R and SAS. I also have a certificate for Biostatistics from UC San Diego. My major is in Bioinformatics. </p>

<p>Thanks for any responses I appreciate them.</p>

<p>I actually went to UC San Diego for Undergrad and am currently attending the Master’s program. I’m pretty confident you’ll be a shoe in. :)</p>

<p>Wow that is nice to hear! </p>

<p>I am also a minority if that helps. </p>

<p>How is it? I would love to hear your experiences. I have heard the biostats majors often have less fun than the public health people. Also what is the relationship between the people in the different disciplines? I would love to hear your input! I am a bioinformatics major with a math(stats) minor so I don’t think you could scare me away from the program so don’t worry about that.</p>
