Hey everyone,
I'm about to start my senior year and have thus started my trek into the wonderful world called "grad school applications". My main interest is in knot theory, and I would like to go somewhere that has active research in knot theory. My secondary interest is in algebra. I have collected a small list of schools that I have run into with knot theory as a stated research interest (schools like UCD, UCSB, Boston College, Indiana University), but I was wondering: what are some other places knot theory is happening? Based on my stats (below) what are some places with knot theory (or more generally, topology) that I could somewhat safely secure a spot in?
Academics:
School - Berry College (Mt Berry, GA)

Personal:
Male
Caucasian
Interests: swing dancing, long walks on the beach, etc
I have not taken the GRE or Math subject test yet (though for the general I've been scoring 160s V/Q on my practice tests)
Advice would be greatly appreciated!
