Admission Chances (International Student)
Posted: Mon Nov 09, 2020 12:42 pm
I have graduated as a math student over in the UAE, I am worried that since my university isn't really the most prestigious my chances getting into any decent grad school is basically next to 0. I feel l like I am extremely far behind the typical curve. My career aspiration is to be a professor.
GPA: 3.94/4.00
Test Scores: Due to the Pandemic I couldn't take the GRE.
Recommendation Letters: I am able to get good recommendation letters from my professors in my university including the professor I did my research paper under.
Research Experience: I have worked as a research assistant for 6 months and have written 2 papers alone with only some guidance from my supervisor, one of which got published. The thing is its just Chemical Graph Theory and I don't think the research is anything particularly impressive, my paper got published in the journal of Symmetry this year.
Research Interests: My interests lie in Algebraic Combinatorics and Graph Theory and am also open to Algebraic Geometry
Here are the schools I am applying to and would like to know if my expectations are realistic (with the exception of Harvard and MIT for which I know my chances are extremely slim):
