But this is mostly because I stupidly got a C+ in first year philosophy. I want to do biostatistics because (in summary) biostatistics is math and stats applied to real life problems. Activity-wise I have little I plan involve on that before I send my applications on December. | ||

Also, I understand totally that school's reputation is not everything. However, it is certainly SOMETHING. At University of Toronto, almost every professor has a PhD in the states and almost every lecturer has a PhD at Toronto or other Canadian institutions.

However, I do want to spend my life on something that is for the better of the human race. I know Harvard is the best (or one of the best, just to be safe) place for researches in medicine and health sciences, so I am sure if I go there I will be able to cultivate my skills as a scientist.

Your school's reputation at this point isn't as important as you think. Your department's reputation is far more important at this stage. Like if you do a stint under a notable person's lab will do far more for you than the university's reputation, so don't just focus in on Harvard because it's Harvard. It might backfire on you, especially in some fields. | ||
