Statistics grad school?

[CaptainT]

I'm interested in going to grad school for Statistics, but my undergrad major was not Stats.

 

Anyone w/ similar experience?

 

What was your undergrad major and if you're in a Stats grad program, how are you coping w/ not having any background?

I went from nursing into stats, via lots of self-study courses. Not having a maths background hinders me when i try to study deeper areas (my eyes glaze over when i look at measure theory), but for practical stuff i'm OK. Do you have any kind of quantitative background? If your willing to put the work in i'm sure you can make it work for you.

What kind of courses did you self-study?

I started with Khan Academy for some remedial stuff, then did some maths courses at the Open University. The uni i did post-grad stats at was most interested in any calculus and linear algebra i had done.
