Had a quick question. My undergraduate major was Mathematics. When listing field of study, there is no way to state just "Mathematics". The closest option is "Mathematical Sciences - Applied Mathematics". Should I go with that, or type "Mathematics" into the "Other field of study" textbox?

Thank you all for the fantastic advice! Really appreciate the input. This helps a ton.

Applying for PhD programs in Statistics and had a quick question. Can PhD students work under assistant or associate professors as their main advisor? For my application to a few departments, I want to mention faculty whose research I'm interested in and a few of them are associate professors. I'm assuming this is okay but just wanted to double-check whether associate/assistant professors supervise PhD students or not. Thanks for any input!
