Real analysis....got it. Thanks. I just took a practice GRE and got: (I think they said it was GRE Test 6) V: 155 Q: 157 AWA: I don't think Princeton Review grades this for the free diagnostic on it. What kind of score should I be shooting for? Obviously a perfect in quantitative right? According to this website http://www.msinus.co...erter-table.htm evidently I'm in the 69th percentile for verbal and 77th for quantitative. However to be fair I took this diagnostic at 1 in the morning after a full day at work. And uh...lots of stupid mistakes, like forgetting to plug in negative numbers and such.

Is multivariable calculus offered by another name sometimes? I'm looking at the math department of a local college here and there's no course by that name offered. So for my post-bac coursework I'm considering taking: Linear Algebra I & II Applied Probability-covers Lebesgue and Martingale Actuarial Mathematics-insurance math stuff

Master's definitely. I don't think academia's my cup of tea....plus I'd much rather go into industry.

Thank you...that's what I figured. So would you say if I took Calc II, III, linear algebra I, II, intro real analysis plus prob&stat are sufficient for stat programs? Sucks that actuarial exams don't mean much of anything for stat programs since they cover a lot of topics in stat & probability (esp. Exam P). Perhaps I should just forget about stats masters altogether and just focus on ActSci programs. I'd be applying from overseas and I'm an international student, but I went to middle school, high school, and undergrad in the US. I wouldn't need to take the TOEFL would I?

Hey, So I'm an econ major (graduated 2 years ago) with about 2 years' unrelated work experience and I'm looking into applying to graduate schools in either Actuarial Science or Statistics. I'm not terrible at math (actually I can be quite good when I try) but being an econ major my math background is what most would consider "weak". Ok so here's the good, bad, and ugly: The Good: SOA Exam FM, 9 (Feb. 2012) Statistics, A (6-credit intro course) (Freshman year) Intro Programming, A (Junior year) AP Calculus, 5 ( 6 years ago) The Bad: Didn't take any math in college besides stat My GPA (between 3.4 and 3.5/4.0) *Taking SOA Exam P in July, I guss I could add this to the "good" if I pass... I was going to apply later this year so I could go in the fall of next year. I was also going to take calculus, probability and stats at a local college here (I'm overseas right now) or online through a local or US college. I haven't taken the GRE yet. Is my math background so lacking as to bar admission into any decent ActSci or Stat program?
