申請研究所 我最近忙著準備申請研究所。我大學生的時候，我的專業是金融。但是我對金融沒有興趣。我畢業之前，我終於發現了我真實想學什麼。但是我發現的時候，已經太晚改變我的專業了。所以沒辦法了，我等畢業之後才想計畫。畢業之後，我確定我要申請研究所為了念Data Science。但是，對我的情況來說，不好改變我的專業。很多的研究所的Data Science課程有很多的條件。比如說，我還需要學微積分學，線性代數學和編程課。其實我大二生的時候有上過那些課。自從金融專業的課程沒有這些條件，我還需要上更多的。我覺得太辛苦了因為我還需要花更多時間為了申請研究所。而且去研究所唸書是很大的投資因為學費很貴的。我第一選擇的研究所是UC Berkeley。它們的Data Science課程大概是$69,000美元。如果我真的想去研究所唸書，申請之前，我必須好好考慮一下。要不然我就花掉我的錢。 I've been very busy recently with preparing to apply to some graduate schools. My major when I was a university student was finance. But I didn't have any interest in finance whatsoever. Before I graduated, I finally realized what I really wanted to study. But it was already too late to change my major after I realized what I wanted to do. So, there wasn't anything I could do but to wait until after I graduated to think of a plan. After I graduated, I decided that I wanted to apply to some graduate schools to study Data Science. But, I figured out that it wasn't easy to change my major. Many of the graduate schools had a lot of pre-requisites. For example, I had to have taken some Calculus classes, a Linear Algebra class, and some programming classes. To be honest, I did take some of these classes when I was a sophomore in university. However, since these classes weren't required for Finance majors, I still needed to take more. I think this is too tiring because I still need to spend a lot of time in order for me to apply for these graduate schools. Also, going to graduate schools is a very big investment since the tuition is very expensive. My first choice of graduate school is UC Berkeley. Their Data Science tuition costs about $69,000 USD. If I really want to go to graduate school, then I really need to think about it before applying. Otherwise I would just be wasting my money.
