So it is official. As of May 2nd, I am a student again. I'm not quite an MBA student because technically I have to take a prequisite class first. I'm only a couple months away though!! So I got into the program without having to take the GMAT. Which is great except for 1 thing. I already paid for the GMAT. So I debated and debated whether to just go ahead and take it in case I need it in the future. Or to bite the bullet and cancel the appointment. You're probably thinking...um...where is the debate here? Well, once you've paid you can only get $80 of the $250 you paid back when you cancel. That's alot to lose. Since I took vacation time to take the test and I don't actually need it. I decided I'm just going to eat the cost. Between wasting the vacation time and the stress of prepping for it, it's worth it to me to lose the money and make my life easier. Plus I can use that vacation time for something fun!!
So I have to start off taking Statistics. Like probably 98% of you took in your undergrad years because it was required. When I was getting my bachelors I got it in Elementary Education. They didn't require us to take any math (I think as long as you got to a certain level in HS) so I didn't take statistics. My friend C and I used to laugh about it being one of those things that made being an Ed major so awesome. Luckily for C she stuck with the teaching thing and has not been subjected to taking statisics for her Masters degree(s). I am not so lucky.
Any advice on how to make it through the torture that is Statistics, I would appreciate it. I have a feeling this is going to be a wake up call...
