Undergraduate Institution: Small Southern University
Major: Mathematics
Minor: Physics
GPA:
overall: 3.73
Math: 3.66
(I had one rough semester of mostly B's and one A that I will explain the extenuating circumstances behind)
Type of Student: Domestic White Female
Courses Taken:
Intro to Mathematical Proofs (A), Differential Equations (B), Probability and Statistics (A), Intro to Abstract Algebra I (B), Intro to Real Analysis I (A), Calculus 3 (B), Statics (B), Mechanics (B)
THIS Semester (intended grade): Functions of a Complex Variable (A), Discrete Mathematics (A), Computational Tech in Physics (A), Undergrad Research in Statistics (A)
** note that the schools currently on my list will receive this semester's grades as their deadlines will be after grades are due
GRE General:
Q: 183 (83 %tile)
V: 158 (80 %tile)
W: 4.0 (59 %tile)
(Plan on retaking as my practice tests had my in the 90+% for quant)
Subject test: TBD
Programs Applying: A mix of OR, Biostat, and one ME MS
Research Experience: Currently working on an honors thesis focusing on the PDE heat equation and hopefully finding an accurate experimental way to model it in two dimensions so I can then model via program and mathematically. I am also required to do a senior project which will be based on the combinatorics or a particular board game
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Dean's list a few semesters, Honors graduate, graduating a four year program in only three years, a few university scholarships
Letters Of Recommendation: Two confirmed. One from a professor I had for linear algebra, proofs, and abstract. The other I had for calculus three, differential equations, and complex variable and he is also my thesis adviser.
Next Semester Schedule: Numerical Analysis, Stochastic Processes, and either Abstract Alegbra 2 OR Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (any suggestions here would also be appreciated)
Schools: ( I appreciate any and all guidance, especially in this category)
ME MS- Boston University's LEAP (engineering masters program for non engineering undergrads)
OR Programs (MS unless otherwise noted)
NCSU
Simon Fraser
Ohio State
Bowling Green
GT- (i have a fee waiver, so why not?) *PHD
Biostat Programs (MS unless otherwise noted)
Louisville
Northwestern
Iowa
UNC
University of Georgia
Georgetown
Thank you for any and all feedback!
*Note that this is only my third year so if i should stay another semester, that's also another option
