Stat 20, stat 21, stat 25???

<p>Can someone tell me why there are three classes that sound exactly the same, and which may be easier? This is for pre-haas.</p>

<p>And for ppl who were pre-haas. Is it worth it? Is being a Haas graduate that much advantageous than econ or other when trying to get a job?</p>

<p>Stat 25 only exists in course catalog, so just assume that class won’t be offered anytime soon. Stat 20 is usually for math majors and engineers who need fundamental statistics knowledge that can either be a lower-division elective or simply because it is useful for other upper-division engineering classes. Stat 21 is where all the pre-haas people are at.</p>

<p>Stat 20 might sound more intense, but you essentially learn the same material and you don’t have to deal with the unnecessary competition that I hear from Stat 21 that it is getting similar to UGBA 10.</p>

<p>I want to hear more of OP’s 2nd question.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If 20 is filled with math and engineering majors while 21 is filled with (intended) business majors, wouldn’t the competition be greater in 20 than in 21?</p>

<p>depends what you mean by competing. would you rather be in a classroom where people are all very smart and not particularly competing, but inadvertently competing just by being awesome grade-wise, or one where everyone has basic skills and then dives deep/plays the game well to rip their competition to pieces. either way, choose the class that fulfills your major. either way, look at the syllabi and choose the class where it has less stuff that makes u feel uncomfortable. idk.</p>

<p>I thought most math/science/engineer majors don’t bother with lower div stat classes. Stat 20/21/25 isn’t even a pre-requisite to the stats major.</p>

<p>Some people have never taken stats in high school. And Stat 20 does count for lower-division engineering electives. Some engineers will do bother.</p>
