You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: Well..... Subject: RE: Masters in statistics. Degree of difficulty - starting over at age 30. Body: I returned to school at 28 to start my PhD in Engineering. I hadn't used significant math in 7 years, but I brushed up on my own, and by my second semester received the highest scores on the PhD qualifying exam, which had a significant math component. Because my research involved statistical pattern recognition it was very heavy in math (measure theory in particular), I wound up taking the complete graduate level analysis sequence in the math department. Despite being a little rusty to start, I had a significant advantage over my peers who had gone straight through: I knew why I was there. It wasn't to screw around and find myself. I even finished before some guys who went straight through. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
