Hi there. As I understood, the cheapest option (1.5k) of Harvard Extension is non credit and you’ll get "pass" or "not pass" grade, not A,B.. So, is the juice worth the squeeze? Or better to take credit-degree one to get a grade?

It is not consistent placement record. It is way easier to get letters from faculty you know 1-2 years Yeah. I wasn't aiming for funding when applying, I've just applied to QEM as a last resort, if I wouldn't be admitted to other schools Thank you

I've run through some playlists on this channel and I am quite familiar with those things thanks to my dad's garage filled up with soviet math books :) My concern is not about my prep for master but about written proof of my math competence for PhD adcom, I mean courses like RA,DE, calc-123 courses on the undergrad transcript record . So, I am wondering how can I do that: to take GRE math, or some online courses like MIT's micromasters, harvard extension or take non-credit courses from another university? I mean, it is not as if I'm gonna write in my PhD SOP "Hey adcom guy, I haven't been taught math at university but I can explain what is isolated point and prove bolzano/weierstrass theorem to you" Yeah, you are right. It is not about pure math, it is likely more applied. Here is some courses of this mater: Topics in algebra and Number theory, Topics in mathematical analysis; Mathematical modelling; Econometrics; Computational complexity theory; Discrete function theory; Calculus of variations; Computational optimization; Asymptotic methods in analysis; Intelligent system theory; Imitation and modelling; Automata theory

I've been admitted to QEM but without funding. I've heard it is mainly for industry and It is hard to stay in touch with profs while you are every semester in different country:distracted:

Thanks for responding. Yeah, my BA is not good one. But, actually, I've been admitted to several MAs which place and/or placed to US Top-5 PhDs and also I've been admitted to the couple German masters from top-5 of this country but I wouldn't consider them. Thank you for the advice. So, as I understood, I should apply for PhD after the completed MA? I have another option: to do MS in Math modelling in top russian school but I think it is waste of two years.

Thanks for answering. No, I am not from Africa but yes, it is the case in my country too, I mean, it is simply "economics".

I am from fourth or even fifth world country (considering the courses in my BA in Econ). I have taken only one math-related course: Linear Algebra with the mix of real analysis and one probability+math-stat course in my Econ BA. So, what can I do to cover up my gaps in terms of math? I've been admitted to Europe Econ master's but there PhD-level (mathematically rigous I think)courses starts from second year, at the time of my US PhD application I would not have taken those serious courses in MA.
