[7-8 years work exp before a PhD]

@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

[7-8 years work exp before a PhD]

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? 

 

 

 

 

[What I'm looking at when I review applications]

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.
