虽然biostatistics以bio开头,但是跟生物没太大关联。大多数学校强调数学背景,有些会要求生物课程,但都是很基础的。
印象中没有biostatistics program requires Math Sub。但由于你的数学背景不强,如果有把握SUB考得比较高,也是能力的证明。
这是哈佛生统硕士的录取要求,作为参考[这可以算是最高要求了吧]:
All candidates for admission to the SM programs should have successfully completed calculus through multivariable integration and one semester of linear algebra. Knowledge of a programming language is also required. Evidence that these requirements have been fulfilled should form part of the application. In addition, applicants are encouraged to have completed courses in probability, statistics, advanced calculus, and numerical analysis. Practical knowledge of a statistical computing package such as SAS, Splus, R, Stata, or SPSS is also desirable.
