Soham Shah got the highest overall score in the entire class. He also placed in top 6 of Prediction Challenge. This is what Soham says about himself and his goals
"I am currently a Junior at Rutgers, majoring in Genetics with a minor in Statistics and pursuing a certificate in computational genetics. I am particularly
interested in computational genetics and the application of statistical analyses in identifying patterns. I took Data 101 this semester because of my strong interest in statistics, and have really enjoyed how the April Madness prediction challenges combined statistics, logic, and creativity all into one fun class-wide competition.
Thanks to Dr Imielinski's class, I have gone from knowing nothing about R to developing a crucial foundation of its basics. I will be applying to medical schools this year, and in
the future, I plan to carry on my knowledge of data science to use a data-driven approach of research wherever I go"
