Hi all,
I am a sophomore at Michigan State University and I am currently interested in pursuing a Masters in Applied Statistics. I know its kind of early but I want to make sure I go down the right path, so I was wondering what classes/tech gpa/gpa/gre scores it would take to get into a school for a Masters in Applied Statistics such as MSU or UMich.
I am double majoring in Economics and Statistics, and would have a minor in math as well if it wasn't for the "unique credit" rule MSU has for the math minor.
Technical Courses I will be taking over my four years:
MTH 132 - CALC I
MTH 133 - CALC II
MTH 234 - CALC III
MTH 309 - LINEAR ALGEBRA
MTH 320 - REAL ANALYSIS I
MTH 360 - THEORY OF MATHEMATICAL INTEREST
MTH 4** - CONSIDERING EITHER REAL ANALYSIS II OR APPLIED LINEAR ALGEBRA
STT 421 - STATISTICS I (NOT CALC BASED)
STT 422 - STATISTICS II (NOT CALC BASED)
STT 441 - STATS AND PROB I (CALC III PREREQ)
STT 442 - STATS AND PROB II (CALC III PREREQ)
STT 455 - ACTUARIAL MODELS
STT 461 - COMPUTATIONS
EC 420 - INTRO TO ECONOMETRICS
EC 421 - ADVANCE ECONOMETRICS
EC 401 - ADVANCED MICRO
8 ECON CLASSES
I'm wondering whether I need to take a different class schedule or if this looks pretty good. I'm also wondering if it depends more on your recent classes than your early classes. (i.e. If I get a 3.0 in Calc I but receive a 3.5 in Calc III and a 4.0 in Real Analysis, will the 3.0 kill me?)
