Very true haha. What I said was "a bit volatile." What I meant was, "the market is potentially crashing right now, so your $20K could turn into $10K very quickly if not careful."
The stock market is a bit of a volatile place right now, and I might be wary of buying into it these days - especially if planning to use the money for a down payment soon. I'm in a slightly similar situation right now, and my plan put a good chunk of my cash in high interest savings/checking accounts. It's easy to find places online that give 1% APY right now, and if you dig a little deeper, you can find accounts that give 3% a year interest all the way up to 6% on a limited amount of money.
If you're really concerned about your grade, start the projects early, and I think you should do well.
Besides that, there are tons of problems today that require both strong statistics and strong coding skills to solve, and the people solving them are making a lot of money. The more of the spectrum between statistician and software engineer you can cover, the more employable you will be coming out of college.

Uh... maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think this means all penalties WILL be reviewed, just that all penalties CAN be reviewed.
If a flag is thrown on a play, the coach can challenge - just like challenging a fumble, catch, etc...
