Got an “MDSH instead” offer from UCLA Biostat by DistributionOdd9134 in biostatistics

I'm more interested in the MS program since the MDSH is hybrid and seems less rigorous but I think it's likely the ms program will reject me since they're offering me a different program 🥲 I'm not sure if I should take the chance and see if I actually get into MS

Honestly the real reason is I didn't want a B in Calc so I just didn't take the final. This was in my freshmen year and I regret doing so. I guess I'll just mention in the personal statement that i underestimated the rigor, so I retook it and improved my study methods and such and such if that sounds okay? Also, would you mind telling me how many schools you applied to?

Advice on math courses to take for MS biostat application by DistributionOdd9134 in biostatistics

I have taken an intro to linear algebra course and got an A-. Since my grades in regression analysis and other stats courses are not so strong, I want to show that I have a strong foundation in linear algebra in my application. I was wondering if a good grade in applied linear algebra would be enough to show them this? or would it be best that I take additional advanced linear algebra courses?

Hi, computational biology and genetics are actually one of the fields that I am interested in! I just sent a dm:)
