“I want to find out if a MS in applied maths is a good fit for me before I apply.”

I’m afraid this may be something you are expected to do yourself. But I love B@r!um suggestion to find out what would enhance your major in Env Science and see if it appeals.

Tip: students aren’t really often ready for calc 3 just from AP calc in HS. My kid also didn’t pass in 1st semester freshman year, but she retook 2nd semester and ‘got it’, when on to study physics, then major in math/cs. So shining up your calc I and II isn’t a bad idea. You will then need to do calc III again. Stats are good for many jobs and CS pays well at the BA level.

I just hope you aren’t talking to a for-profit school. Sounds like not, but just to be sure.
