<t>Yeah, i bet you've never heard of harvey mudd, but i'd bet its just as good as any spot you've been to.

So I did a lots of undergrad math in one semester at a pretty decent liberal arts college Harvey Mudd...i took calc, prob, diff eq, discrete, algebra, in 1 semester. The following...

<t>Thats interesting. The diploma is located in the continuing education department. Most contin edu programs I've come across are less restrictive/easier to get into, even at name places like Harvard. Has anyone ever applied to the program? Is anyone in the program? I've searched the forum, but the...

<t>I was a gov major at a top 15 liberal arts college.When I apply, I'm not going to take the general test. I'd rather take the math subject. (its possible that they would rather see a math subject test as well...I was a gov major after all).Anybody know somebody who did something like this. I am aw...

<t>all things considered equal, you seem to suggest that Berkeley would not be interested in whether or not a domestic/international student would raise/lower the job placement/subsequent reputation of their masters program.I'm also curious why international students would find a hard time finding a...
