Have you taken any of the prereqs? At the very bare minimum, probability and basic calculus. It'll be really hard with just those though

I know someone who got in and struggled big time with the maths components.

I recently completed MS business analytics and information management through University of Delaware. I do not have a STEM background. Half of my classes were data science focused, learning Python and R. The others more MBA style.

Are the MIT and Berkeley ones super expensive?
