Where to take prereqs

[Andres_iniesta]

Hello,

I've been accepted to Cornell. They have asked me to take engineering stochastic processes and engineering probability II as prerequisites. At what institutions have people have taken MFE prerequisites before? Esp would be helpful if anyone has done this in the Atlanta area.

Thanks

maybe you can take it there before you actually join the program?

I think they meant those two courses: 3150 is offered during the summer but 3500 is only offered in fall.

I'm pretty sure that I'm supposed to take them prior to matriculation. The email said that pretty explicitly. The problem, really for me is that coursera and ocw don't really give grades or anything, and I don't really trust online classes from random places.

just take it as some sort of self study. I mean, you could learn the material all by yourself, stuffs like coursera just add the instructor who does some of the work for you.

Hi I got to the program also and want to ask you a question. Did you find the online response area indicated on the offer, I couldn't find it and emailed to the office but haven't got reply yet...
Thank you very much!

Thanks and I saw this form. But the offer says that we also need to response through the online system, have you checked the form and found where the response area is? Thanks again for the reply!

is it this one? It's written at the top of that form. I think you have to log in. If not then idk you could ask whoever sent you the decision. I asked the person who sent me mine some questions about the program and she was pretty good about responding.

Thank you very much!! I thought it was a delay for the confirmation to appear on the form so I did not find it several days ago. Now I saw it and thanks for your help!
