I didn't see a thread on this, apologies if one exists.

Has anyone entered/completed this program?

I am considering it and the Illinois iMSM. My questions are:

1 - How math-heavy or calculation-heavy is this program? I can do some, but I am worried about a program that is almost entirely focused in that area. It would play to my weaknesses. But then again, maybe that would be beneficial - maybe weaknesses could become strengths.

2 - How long does it realistically take? Their web site says 2-3 years. But, it also says self-paced, so I am wondering if a motivated person can go through it much faster than that, say in one year. But I also realize that GT is a whole different thing than, say, UMPI (which says MAOL takes one year, but I would expect it to take me 8 to 16 weeks).

Also, if anybody has general remarks about the UIUC iMSM vs GT MSA that don't fit those questions, I'd be interested to hear those as well.

Thanks!
