Hi all
I am an economics graduate, however, my course entailed a few courses in econometrics and just one in maths for economists (calculus, statistics, etc). I do not have the multivariable calculus course yet but I am planning to make up for this.
Question is how. I have a full-time job and having checked already I cant seem to find any suitable class in the evenings/weekends where I live.
Is it possible to take online/distance classes (for credit)? I've done some research and came across some calculus classes offered by UC Berkeley Extension or Univ of North Dakota.
Would the admission committee take these classes into account when they review my application? Or would it be a waste of money?
any of you in the same situation?
advice would be welcome.
thanks

Hi
Thanks for your input.
I live in the UK where one generally needs to enrol in a Maths degree to get access to calculus courses. The only exception i have found is one university where I could take this course for an exorbitant fee of £2250. This would also mean 4 hours of commute by train on a weekly basis + ticket fares. However much I would like to increase my chances of getting into HKS or SIPA, the price seems just too high.
The online calculus courses seem a better, more affordable option at this time, my only concern is whether schools will view the online format favourably as quant prep for the admission. Is it worth writing to them and asking for advice?
