I didn't realize you went to Fuqua. Now I'm really gonna have to pick your brain! Fuqua's at the top of my list.
Yeah, I wasn't sure about Stats II either. It did seem like overkill to take that course.
Btw, I noticed that UC Berkeley gives you 6 months to finish the course, while UCLA has a 12 week program. How long did it take you to finish the stats course thru Berkeley? Did you find the class to be helpful? Thanks!
Ah, my dirty secret comes out. Basically, I registered for the course so I could put that i was registered on all my apps, in case they cared. That was Jan 3. Then I continued to be horribly busy because of taxes (I used to do taxes for free for low-income people...not much of a business model) and interviews and selling my house and excuse excuse excuse. So I got about halfway through the course and then just decided it was time to move on and didn't bother to finish it. Though I have to say that half I did complete was really helpful when doing the math review and should put me in a good place when taking the stats class. I suppose that if I had finished it, I might have considered exempting out of stats, but really, it's probably ok to have a course i feel halfway comfortable with!
To get to your question, each chapter takes at least one week: you can only hand in one assignment at a time, and it takes the guy up to 5 biz days to get the homework back to you. And you have to wait until he gets it back to you before sending in the next one. So at Berkeley, look at the number of units (~15, I think) and then add two extra weeks for the midterm and final. So it's going to take you a while.
