Hi everyone, I am strongly interested in studying Statistics for my master degree. I am not sure if this sub-forum is the place for me to ask these questions; if it is not I'd like to apologize in advance and please do feel free to remove my post if needed. I am leaning more towards doing data analyzing in the future so I think Applied Statistics would be a better fit for my goal. I graduated from UC Santa Cruz about 2 years ago and have been working in a business media company since then. I am still in the phrase of studying my GRE and searching for schools so my questions may seem juvenile. My B.A. is in Business Economics so I only took a couple of math courses as required (the most I could remember is derivative and anti-derivative; since we only require econ-related math classes our "calculus" classes aren't exactly the same as regular calculus classes). I know different schools have different polices on what math courses need to be completed as requirements for admission but I am wondering if I could gather some general information on this regard? I only took Intro to Stats, Intro to Econometric, and two econ-related calculus courses in college so I know my math background may not be as strong as other candidates. Therefore I'd really appreciate any insights on recommendations for what I can take from extensions to strengthen this weakness of my candidacy. I am also emailing a few admission coordinators from the schools of which I am interested in to get the same exact information but I believe this place would have more and better insights than "official statements". Okay wow I've been on and on for a while - anyways thank you everyone in advance! Any info about this is deeply appreciated!! Best, C.Wang
