Ok so I am interested in possibly getting my MsF in a year or two and the goal is MIT. Ill be working in the Boston area in M&A advisory from a top 50 school (state) and had a 3.8 in Finance. My question is how should I go about taking the prereq suggested classes for MIT ? I took stat in college but took Calc 2 Ap (got a 5) in high school so no other math in college. Since I'd be working full-time i would prefer online but from where and is it really worse than in class ?

Sure. A couple options to fill out the engineering math suite:
-Calculus III (Multivariable) -Linear Algebra -Differential Equations
All of these are available through netmath.uiuc.edu. Illinois isn't quite The University of Chicago, but it's good enough for most programs. I also think a local state school would suffice too. There might be some concerns about course QA at a community college, but MIT would be familiar with community colleges in the Boston area.
Thanks...yea unfortunately left engineering undergrad before finishin the math requirements (did orgo though wtf !) so math is something I can teach myself plus my brother is aero engineering so if I need help I got him...so do you think it would be best for online from like illini or ucla, etc. vs. a boston community ?
On the MIT MFin website they tell you which subjects you should know and at what level you should know them. They even tell you should you know X subject on the level of "Y" book chapters 1-3

It is under the "Suggested Mathematical Background" section
Also here are math problems you should know how to solve according to MIT

Edit: I don't know if the subjects should be on your transcript or you just need to know them. You should ask MIT
Thanks I have done the research and know the material and actual taught myself calc 3 and diff eq this summer and know stat and computer programming but wanted to know if they needed it on transcript
In the 2012 class, some students did not formally meet all the math pre-reqs but were still admitted. However, this was more of the exception, and those students did not have a tough time with the math.
ok thank you...math comes easy to me but I dont want to hurt my chances....if i were to pick maybe two of the classes to get on a transcript..any suggestion which ones maybe linear and diff eq ? and any idea between in class vs. online
