Help on Biostatistics Rankings!!!

<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>I’m currently an undergrad pursuing a degree in Psychology and am interested in a future in biostatistics. Any hints on classes I should take to prepare myself? I am currently a junior at the University of Washington and am in the middle of my statistics requirements and like it a lot, but I feel under prepared to seriously look into a program in biostatistics. What helped you as an undergraduate to pursue this field? Any other help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>UW has a great Biostatistics department. You should look on their website for full details on what you need to qualify for their grad program. </p>

<p>Basically, they’re looking for an undergraduate degree that is very math heavy. You could probably get away with Psychology as long as you take a significant amount of stats/math classes as electives. I know Psych and Stats are often paired together as a Major/Minor, as Stats is used heavily in Psychological research.</p>

<p>I know the minimum you need for the UW Biostatistics program is Calc 1-3 (through Multivariate Calculus), as well as some Mathematical Statistics classes (probability theory).</p>

<p>am working as a Research Assistant (Bio-statistics) in Indian Council of Medical
Research have done my Masters in Statistics (M. Sc.) and having 24 years of
Research Experience in field of Biostatistics. I have also contributed in research
publications for more then 10 publications. </p>

<p>I wish to join a Ph D programme in Biostatistics.</p>

<p>Pl my following queries</p>

<p>With my experience in Research Field may I be exempted to appear for GRE and
TOFEL.</p>

<p>Your GPA and grades in math classes are more important than GRE scores. I had trouble finding official rankings too, but people recommended Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Georgetown, Brown, and BU since I wanted to stay on the east coast.</p>

<p>Hello, I am planning on applying to University of Louisville Biostatistics MS for Fall 2014. Can you talk a little bit about your experience as well as what are they really looking at in applicants? I am an international student from Turkey. Were there any international students in the department during your time of study? and lastly, do you know what is the acceptance statistics?</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>Come on folks. Look at the date before posting.</p>
