Developing a school list
Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:47 pm
I'm in progress of developing a school list! I'm not quite sure what would be good fits in terms of my interests, application profile. Figured I'd post here to crowd source some ideas!
Interests:
Applicant profile:
Interests:
- Convex/Asymptotic geometry (e.g. Brunn-Minkowski, estimating volumes in high dimensions, polytopes, concentration of measure)
- Geometric/linear functional analysis (e.g. Hilbert spaces, orthogonal polynomials, applications to approximation theory)
- Probability (e.g. high-dimensional probability, probability on geometric structures and groups, connections with functional analysis)
Applicant profile:
- BA in Math; 3.9 GPA; have yet to take the GRE or Subject GRE (will be taking them in Sept/Oct)
- Eleven graduate courses (incl. 2 semesters of probability, measure theory/functional analysis sequence, differential geometry, Gaussian quadrature)
- Three semesters of independent study/reading course in convex geometry with professor (no publications); also frequently attended graduate seminars/colloquiums (i.e. well networked with professors and fairly confident in my rec letters)
- Senior project in geometry for gerrymandering (no publications, did attend a related conference afterwards though but didn't present)
- Grader for undergraduate analysis sequence
- Three years of work as a software engineer; have a recommender who can speak to mathematical rigor (he has PhD in Computer Science/Computational Game Theory)
- New York University (reach)
- University of Alberta (I think a reach, not exactly sure)
- University of Minnesota (reach)
- Georgia Tech (reach)
- Texas A&M University (reach/maybe match?)
- University of California, Irvine (reach)
- Berlin Mathematical School (match? not quite sure... mainly applying because it gives access to Berlin scene which includes lots of convex geometry research)
- Case Western Reserve University (match)
- Kent State University (match)
