What do we think of this school? Should I take it over ivies?

Which ivies is it better/comparable to in math?Scholar wrote: ↑Wed Apr 05, 2023 6:19 pmThink about it in what respect? Are you thinking about a specific field?
It is a very strong math program, comparable with some of the ivies (and arguably better than a few in my opinion). That said, if you want to go into industry, it probably doesn't have the same name recognition as an ivy outside of academia. I can't say much else without more information about what you're looking for.

I'm curious - which one do you choose at the end, if you have made a decision?MaffmaticalFisics wrote: ↑Thu Apr 06, 2023 9:39 pmNot Darthmouth. Cornell, Penn, Brown, Columbia.

I’m still hopelessly stuck.

Are you really stuck between all 5 schools? Instead of just trying to decide which one you want to go to, it may be helpful to think of which ones you aren’t considering to make the decision easierMaffmaticalFisics wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 4:55 pmI’m still hopelessly stuck.

My information will probably not be helpful for you. I chose Rutgers over Maryland and Georgia Tech. Rutgers has a large department that can cover many possibilities of my interests (undecided yet, but definitely in algebra and topology).MaffmaticalFisics wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 4:55 pmI’m still hopelessly stuck.

Oh by they way, maybe I do have some helpful information.MaffmaticalFisics wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 4:55 pmI’m still hopelessly stuck.
