Hi guys,

do you think it's feasible to take both calculus I and statistics online in 5 months? Or it would be too much?

thanks!

Depends on the rest of your schedule I think. Are you taking Calculus to prepare for the GMAT? I think time/resources can be better spent some other way because Calculus is way beyond what's required on the gmat

Will you be a full time student, or will you still be working while you take the Calculus and Stats classes? How proficient with math were you before? Is this to learn new material or to brush up on some things?

You will not necessarily need Calculus for your MBA program and you will learn statistics in your core. So, your goals for the courses and your overall schedule will help to determine a) if it is feasible and b) if you really should take both classes.

Thanks for the response. I have looked at course but it does not seem to cover calculus. And besides is it a graded course?

Some schools, such as UCLA, have an online math course for MBA students. You may want to explore one of these possibilities.

Hi- are there any courses that I'd be able to complete online before the end of October?

Some schools (e.g. Sloan) specifically ask for undergrad calc grade on their app, and I would really like to beef that up prior to submitting for round 1.

Thanks
