Final Decisions - 2024

[schakraborty091199]

Still deciding. Narrowed it down to Notre Dame ACMS unless I get off the Northwestern Shortlist. What about everyone else?

[dolbeault]

Almost certainly UC Irvine for pure math! Very excited about it.

[coffeebeanbag]

Yet to hear back from multiple waitlists lol.

[lhxu]

still waiting to get off the waitlist

Waiting to hear from multiple waitlists...

[vigi]

deciding between CUNY and UPenn. Both packages are similar for me since i live in NYC.

Upenn is better university so choose it please. You will also do a favor for me since I am waitlisted by CUNY.

Did you get an official offer from UPenn since the email yesterday? Or just deciding based on the email?

Probably go with Gatech pure math. But still want to hear from tamu, because it would be closer to my GF… Though I suspect that GaTech is a way better school?

GT is notably better in combinatorics & applied math. Outside of those areas, though, I'd say they and TAMU are pretty comparable. (Though if you want to study number theory, for example, I don't think GT has many faculty in that area.)

I am really struggling to choose between Northwestern and UC Berkeley.

I am really struggling to choose between Northwestern and UC Berkeley.

My current academic advisor went there and went to do a postdoc at Harvard and was on tenure track there before moving to UW Madison because of his wife and he is on tenure track here with a super successful lab. But honestly if you are stuck between those two definitely consider external factors like weather, stipend, location etc. as well since you have to live there for at least 5 years.

Thanks! Did your advisor go to Northwestern or Berkeley?

Sorry should have specified LOL he went to Berkeley.

Joining UChicago finally. All the best to everyone!

Thank you for your advice! I am actually interested in mathematical physics. I think that in this field tamu is also pretty competitive — is that a correct perception, in any sense?

[ClassNumberOne]

Having trouble deciding between Maryland and Utah. Hoping to do number theory (either algebraic or analytic), though I am okay with doing more algebra-related topics like algebraic geometry (which Utah is strong at). To my knowledge, neither school is particularly strong in number theory.

Any advice?

The skiing in Utah is incredible. Utah is pretty safe too.

Caltech, UBC Vancouver.

[yjj82333akdc]

Thank you so much for declining the offer of Caltech, I am still on their waitlist. Do you do algebra or analysis?

[IsaacNewton]

If someone has better offer than CUNY and plans to go there please decline the offer from CUNY.

[MadMenDoMath]

I do algebra (NT). FYI if you do NT: Vesselin Dimitrov is joining Caltech from this fall.

[yjj82333akdc]

Thanks bro! I am doing analysis and pde. Wish you all the best in Chicago.

Does anyone know about the status of second round offers in Purdue? I contacted them but didn't receive any response.

I'm tossing up between Chicago, Berkeley, and Warwick for Number Theory. Probably won't stay in the UK, so more between the first two. What do other people think of Chicago vs Berkeley? Especially for more Langlands-y type stuff?

[MadMenDoMath]

I'd choose Berkeley for more Langlands-y type. At Chicago, Emerton and Akhil are doing condensed mathematics and Calegari is more into Galois Deformation. But Berkeley has Tony Feng, Sug Woo Shin, Edward Frenkel etc. who are doing Langlands-y type things.

[dormordo1]

I'm deciding between Virginia and Purdue at the moment. I'm confused as to which department is better overall, and people have told me Purdue's department is pretty good for number theory, which is what I want to do.

[dormordo1]

They sent out a second round offer to me a few days back. Their offer dates seem fairly scattered from what I've seen here, so you can still hold out some hope I guess.

I think both departments are good. I hear Purdue is probably better for number theory and overall, although Ken Ono is at Virginia

I mailed Ken Ono, he isn't taking students anymore.

Is anyone going to the Summer School at Gatech?

[JohnNash]

I have declined offers from Binghamton and LSU.
Good luck to everyone who are waitlisted by them.

[MonsieurGalois]

Just committed to UChicago!

[1q2w2w21wq]

less than 5 days left, I am still struggling with making a final decision. Deciding among USC, Notre Dame, and IU Bloomington. Interested in Analysis/PDE (Fluids). It will be greatly appreciated if anyone can give some insights.

[yjj82333akdc]

The same field. Recommend UsC, Igor, Susan, Yu Deng, Jang, a lot of people working in pde and fluid. Moreover, better weather and stipend.

I don't see any reason of not choosing ND, e.g student support, research environment.

Just set up my final mind to go to Atlanta and join in Gatech.

Officially committed to UCI. Goodbye forever, mathematicsgre.com!

[IsaacNewton]

Declined offer from University of missouri.
Wish you luck.

[MathMinds10]

I just committed to UMich AIM for the fall! Thank you all so much for keeping us all updated on your admissions processes -- this was so scary and frustrating, but this forum really made me feel like we are all going through it together. I appreciate you all and hope everyone is happy with their final outcome. Congrats guys, we did it!

[1q2w2w21wq]

If you have decided not to go to USC, please decline the offer. Wish you the best!

[ztetital]

Hi, Are you waitlisted at USC as well? I am also waiting and am wondering if there are any updates at all

If you have decided not to go to USC, please decline the offer. Wish you the best!

[schakraborty091199]

Committed to Notre Dame ACMS! Would love to chat if you are going as well!

[probabelitist]

Committed to UConn! Do reach out if you're also going to be there.
