"我菜鸟,不过有个沾边的总比没有强" The financial program is just under stat that is why you got offer from stat. But I don't agree with you. Do you think cornell, chicago or columbia are very stronger than UW? I don't think so. Actually, only NYU or CMU is better than UW because their location is very great and academic is great two.The courant institute of NYU is very very amazing. The math in UW is very very very strong too. Do you need to take 3 courses? Maybe they think your bk is not strong enough.
the offer they gave me is about master of statistics,not stat finance, that is why i said 我菜鸟,不过有个沾边的总比没有强"
even though stat finance and statistics are under the same department, my classmate told me it probably will be vary hard to transfer from each other...
yeah, i need to take 3 under statistics courses coz there is only one course related to statistics in my transcripts so far.
