| Jun 10 at 18:36 | comment | added | Dave L Renfro | An earlier comment of mine: The "roommate of mine" of mine who I mentioned here got an undergraduate degree in math, skipped a year from school (worked as an assistant car mechanic), then took some undergraduate engineering courses at another university part-time, then applied to and got accepted to MIT's graduate mechanical engineering program, where he got his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering a few years later. So yes, it is possible. | |

| Jun 10 at 17:53 | comment | added | Wolfgang Bangerth | You can of course, but what qualifies you better than all of the other applicants? Why would a department choose you given that most of the other applicants will already have an education in these fields? | |
