Hi! Did you contact with those profs?

Since my GPA is not high enough to be competitive for the best phd programs and I haven't really decided my research interest, I think I will enter a master program first. My undergrad major is theoretical and applied mechanics,and I want my master in applied math, and then my phd (most probably in the US) doing interdisiplinary research like brain science. If this is the case, should I choose the shorter programs or longer ones? Is it better to write a thesis? Maybe longer programs will enable me to do summer research with profs from other universities? Will I be more privileged in applying for a phd in the US if my master is in the US? I am considering Canada, Ecole polytechnique in france and Berlin mathematical school as well. Welcome any comments! THX!

So what's your decision? It may be helpful to me

Hi technological! I'm also considering European university in addition to those in the US, so I want to hear how you made your decision
