Hello,

I’ve begun looking into Statistics masters programs to apply to for fall 2022. I have a good background in programming and analytics but not as strong in math (though I’ve taken classes after graduating undergrad to try and improve that). I'm not looking at any highly ranked programs since I realize I don't have a chance at those, but I’m still unsure what programs, if any, it’d be feasible for me to get into. 

I’m hoping to do my master’s part-time, but my company has offices in most major US cities so location shouldn’t be too much of a factor. 

Any school recommendations or general advice you have for me would be greatly appreciated!

For the third, I’m planning to ask either the Vice President of the analytics department at my work or the professor who ran the writing center where I tutored in college.
