Hey guys,
Your feedback is very much appreciated. I'm curious if you guys think I'm just gonna get wiped out this admissions season. I had very little experience w/ math prior to my masters (i.e. no analysis, algebra, topology).
Undergrad Institution: Top 25 US University, unknown for math
Major(s): Finance & Accounting
Minor(s): Mathematics
GPA: 3.51 overall (3.87 last two years)
Position in Class: 40% in undergrad
Type of Student: domestic white male
Graduate Institution: Top 50 US University, Top 80 for math
Degree: MS in Pure Mathematics (graduating this semester)
GPA: 3.97
GRE Scores:
Q: 770
V: 560
W: 5.0
M: 650 (53%) [ugh]
Program Applying: Pure Math/Applied Math/Operation Research
Research Experience: 1 summer w/ Naval Research, produced an internal paper and presentation
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: N/A
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: TA for Management Accounting soph yr.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: 8 Ph.D level courses (1 yr . analysis, 1 yr topology, 1 yr applied math, 1 sem differential geometry, reading course in minimal surfaces)
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:
I had no background in math. For math minor I only had to take calc III, lin alg, intro to proofs, ODE's. Only decided I wanted to do a math PhD my senior year.
Applying to Where:
Princeton (PACM)
Stanford (Management Science)
Cornell (CAM)
UChicago (CAMP)
Minnesota (Applied Math in Math Dept.)
Michigan (AIM)
Texas (Applied Math in Math Dept.)
