  1. Thanks! Sorry, I am still stuck on my freshman vocab. By "room and board", I meant rent fee and monthly groceries.
  2. Thank you so much! Do you remember approximately how long the commute was by shuttle? Google Maps unfortunately does not map the UM shuttle. I figure I can try getting a monthly pass and transfer from the red line but that will still be about an hour. Thanks for the suggestion! However, I've been told to steer clear of the expensive apartment complexes on campus. Bad management and full of partying undergrads.
  3. Sorry this is really late, but I will be starting my PhD in the fall at UMD College Park. I've been having a lot of trouble finding a place to my liking. Unfortunately, I will not have a car, so my options are quite limited. People have suggested Silver Spring and Takoma Park, but would these areas be feasible without a car? The metro ride seems like a trek (50+ minutes?) and expensive ($3.45 during peak hours?). Are there any other good accessible areas for a grad student? I'm aiming for a budget of about $1200 for room and board. Advice would be greatly appreciated.
  4. Not a rejection per se, but lol: I do not have assistantship please help me get a USA cosigner to take a loan in a USA bank with low interest. My immediate brother just traveled to USA as a green card winner, he will help me pay the loan ASAP. From Fall2017 I believe I will get assistantship/scholarship. Contact: llovyna@yahoo.com
  5. I doubt there's anything good out there in terms of tutorials or courses. That site you linked doesn't look even remotely close to being comprehensive. The review books (Princeton Review and REA) are okay for practice questions, but not so much for review. Your best bet is reviewing material from your lectures. You should really devote a lot of time (more than a few months) to prepare. Maybe even more if its been a long time taking these courses. Here's a highly voted post from Math Stack Exchange: REA books or Princeton review are not so useful. Make sure that you do each and every problem from Stewart Calculus atleast twice, since its timed test, pace is also important factor. Do Dummit upto field extensions, if you have time do Artin's Algebra too. Rudin Real Analysis, Munkres Topology, Insel Linear Algebra are also must. I suggest to go for Gamlin Complex Analysis, Brown's Complex Analysis is also sufficient but if you are good at Complex Analysis you can save time in the exam by simplifying integral using methods from Complex Analysis. (Do till Residues) For the misc topics pick any Discrete Maths book and read them a day or two that's more than enough. Learn some basic number theory from any introductory book. Do all the 5 available practice tests, you should be able to finish of the tests little earlier because actual test will be harder than those practice tests. http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/269549/recommending-books-for-gre-math-subject-test I do personally think Rudin and Dummit/Foote are overkill but reviewing these two will also help with your graduate study.
  6. Finally received the anticipated rejection from Columbia. Good luck to everyone that applied!
  7. The University Of Pennsylvania Statistics, PhD (F16) Rejected via Website on 7 Mar 2016 U 7 Mar 2016 This is where Trump is graduated from. I got a better admission.
  8. If finances weren't an issue, I'd agree with the above two. However that FSU stipend seems very good for its location. It also depends on how the programs are perceived. It appears like USNEWS doesn't really think there's a huge difference between the two programs. However, the NRC rankings heavily favor UCLA.
  9. I explicitly asked that they do this on my SOP. Meanwhile, I see a Purdue admit as I type this. More depression for me I guess.
  10. Ah I see, thanks. Looks like they've sent out most of their acceptances then. Surprised that there aren't many postings on the results page. There were a slew of them at this time last year.
  11. May I ask how you received the waitlist notification at Columbia? Do you know how many there are on the waitlist? Congratulations on the acceptances!
