Math prep for PhD admissions

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I am applying to programs in fall '22, with a range of target options (a few in top 10, a few in top 50, a few in top 150). My math background is weak. I work full-time so am trying to come up with an efficient plan that maximizes my chances for admissions.

 

Math that I have:

Calc 1 - AP

Honors Calc 2 - B

Linear Algebra - currently taking at Georgia State (likely A)

Business stats - A

Stats in public policy grad school - B

Econometrics in public policy grad school - A

 

Options that I am considering:

 

1. Take courses locally (mostly Georgia State University)

Fall '21: Multivariable Calculus

Spr '22: Stats 1 (in Math Dept), Differential Equations

Sum ' 22: Stats 2 (in Math Dept)

Fall '22: Linear Algebra with Real Analysis I - 23A (online at Harvard Extension)

 

2. Take courses online via Harvard Extension

Fall '21: Multivariable calculus - 21A

Spr '22: Mathematics for computation and data science - 23C

Sum ' 22: Linear Algebra with Real Analysis I - 23A

Fall '22: Mathematical Statistics 156 AND Differential Equations 21C

 

Would love any advice. And open to other ideas too! Thanks in advance.
