EXCELLENT information! Thank you!

When I contacted TESC, I included the course descriptions, the ACE recommendations, and a brief explanation of how I felt each course was suitable to both the degree program and my specific goals. Given how generic the response was, I assume the information I included wasn't even looked at (let alone considered). Oh well...I understand why they would shy away from pre-evaluating every random ACE course/exam a student hasn't even taken yet, but it's a little frustrating, nonetheless.


Anyhow, specific question for bluebooger regarding R:

I have free access to Lynda.com's R content (link). Are you familiar with it at all? I haven't looked closely at them yet. With your experience, are you able to comment on whether or not these would be sufficient preparation for the intermediate level R course from statistics.com? I am also about half done with Try R. I do like the idea of "skipping" paying for the intro courses and just taking an intermediate course from statistics.com. "Intermediate" vs "intro" level coursework will certainly not hurt in the admissions process.

As for the math part, I did both ALEKS stats, and a B&M full-term stats course (using Statdisk) this spring. I've just begun reading Advanced Statistics Demystified little-by-little as well. Hopefully, that's a strong enough base where I can fill in any gaps on the fly.
