abstract_art Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hey everyone, I'm going into my senior year of undergrad, and I'm planning on applying to stats and biostats programs in the fall. I'm currently in the process of picking classes for first semester, and I'm considering just taking Algebra I (as part of my math major, taking Algebra II second semester), Algorithms (for my CS major), and a 6 credit thesis in the CS department on machine learning (specifically convolutional neural nets, which I'd continue second semester). So altogether I'd be taking 12 credits, half of which would be a thesis. Would this look bad to grad schools? Should I add on an extra class (it'd probably be complex variables)? I've already taken all of my other math and CS major classes, and all of the prereqs/ relevant classes for stats/biostats that are available at my school (namely multivariable calc, linear algebra, probability, math stats, stochastic processes, analysis I&II, graduate real analysis, a bunch of CS classes including AI and an independent readings on machine learning). I'm not sure whether the fact that I've already taken all of the relevant classes for grad programs makes it ok that I'd only be taking 2 classes and a thesis when applying.

DC1020 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 12 units is a normal load so I don't see why this would be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwulf Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Not a problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
