Candidate profile evaluation/comparison
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 2:48 pm
I'm not really familiar with the American graduate system, so I'd like to get an idea about what the profile of candidates look like (for candidates in the area of analysis/PDEs) for Courant Institute (NYU), Berkeley, UCLA, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, Chicago, Stanford, University of Texas at Austin, and Duke.
The past threads on grad admissions help quite a bit, but I'd still like some personalized advice and I'd appreciate if you could point out among the previous applicants someone with similar interests and target schools.
About myself:
I've taken my bachelor's and I'm doing my master's degree from a smallish (not American) university. Top grades (and all courses taken were advanced). Rather well-known advisor. Four "REUs" in other (quite prestigious) institutions. Good projects in progress. Plenty of experience with conferences (attendance and presentations).
