@lemma no I did not . My high school was in a tiny little town with no exposure. My math competitive exams were mostly local to the state :-( do you think I can salvage my application with mGRE scores ?

@StatHopeful thanks a ton for the reply! I’m just seeing that there are a lot of Stat applicants on here I guess I’m going to go ahead and just count on my subject GRE carrying me through. Heading over to mathematicsgre now .. Good luck for your admission

Hi! Starting a new thread just in case. I have a bachelors in ECE from an international university, a Masters from UCSD in Signal and Image Processing and been working in the industry for close to 7-8 years in Video Compression and more recently in 3D Computer Vision. I want to apply for a PhD in AMATH(Applied Math) starting Fall 2019(mostly). I am aware that I need to take the GRE Math Subject Exam and the General GRE as well. I do not have any research papers so far. I did lots of high school math competitive exams(dont think they count anymore). I am only hoping to do well in Math Subject test to prove myself. How realistic are my chances of a PhD Admit in AMATH? Will my work experience cost me a lot? Anyone else in the same boat?

Thanks for doing this, @cyberwulf ! When applying to a AMATH department for PhD, is it considered a negative if the applicant is from an engineering background(like EE or CS) and has several years work experience in a EE field? Can the application be made stronger if the Subject GRE scores are good? Is Subject GRE a good indication that the applicant can handle certain Math undergrad courses well? I understand that the Subject GRE is not heavy on the proof-and-theorem side, but it counts for something right? Thanks in advance.

I'll be heading to UCSD fall 2010, ECE department, Masters.

Hello people! I have an admit from UCSD, which I have deferred to Fall 2010. M.S in ECE(Signal and Image processing). Any of you in same boat? And when do we contact profs reg. research projects and funding?
