Intermediate Analysis, PDE, and Stochiastic Processes: which to leave out?

[Andy_B]

I saw the old thread in the forums about which courses are necessary to be accepted to top MFE programs. However, I'm sort of in a unique spot where I can take two of the following: a course in Intermediate Analysis, Stochiastic Processes, or PDEs. Other than these courses, I'll have taken 6 stats courses, a full calc series, 2 linear algebra courses, complex variables, statistical computing, C++ certification etc.. It really is a matter of which of these courses can I survive without? Anyone been in a similar spot?

Andy_B, which is easier for you. I thought most stochastic processes courses require a thorough knowledge of real analysis. I would take stochastic processes or PDEs assuming you know basic analysis.
