I really want to get into a PhD program, but failing that I would do a Master's. Any advice would be appreciated, especially if there are any schools on my list that I wouldn't get into or new schools I should consider. Undergraduate: Large state university Mathematics major with English minor GPA: 3.738 Cumulative, 3.75 Mathematics, 4.0 English GRE: General: Verbal 160/84%, Quantitative 165/90%, Writing 4.0/56% I am taking the mathematics subject test this fall. I've been studying a lot for this, but I'm very worried. Courses: Math electives are mostly in Numerical Analysis and Differential Equations. I’ve taken a graduate course in Linear Algebra and will take graduate courses in Numerical Analysis and Abstract Algebra in my senior year. Many courses use MATLAB extensively. Grade wise, almost every course is an A. However, I got Bs in my early math classes such as Calculus 3 and the first class with proofs. In my entire undergraduate career I had only one C, which was in Real Analysis I. I am taking Real Analysis II this fall and hope to redeem myself on that. Research Experience: I am currently working on a project with a professor for the past few months. Research Area Ambitions: Numerical Analysis or Differential Equations Letters of Recommendation: I haven’t asked anyone yet, but I’m confident I can get at least two letters from mathematics professors. Schools: Ordered from top choice to bottom choice: University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Duke University Boston University University of Virginia North Carolina State University University of Washington University of Iowa Vanderbilt University University of North Carolina Greensboro University of North Carolina Charlotte
