Oh, that 3.2 is actually accumulate, my major is 3.8; those general eduction courses just plain killed me and I didn't participate in the Putnam competition, I guess that disqulified me as being good at math. All my degrees were (is going to be) granted in US soil. They're definitely not from top 10, which's why I want to get into one. Could you elaborate a bit more on explanation of why top programs dislike people with a master degree? Is it based on statistical analysis? I'm kind of scared, cause, you know, I are going to have two masters, one in pure math and the other in applied.

thanks so much. I've been working on expanding my list of schools lately.

I agree. I've been thinking about adding more.

Oops, sorry guys, the Math subject test I took actually, I only got 800 (86%) out of it. Do you think I need to retake it? and regarding the GRE general test, I sucked at verbal, 340.. is it too bad for math majors?

Hi, I'm finishing up my MA. I'm trying to get a ph.d. in applied math (PDE or computational math), Here are some of my basics B.S. in Math GPA 3.2 (taking sufficient amount of CS credits for a minor) M.S. in Pure Math, GPA 4.0 M.A. in Applied Math, GPA 4.0 1 Journal, 2 in preparation (1 journal, 1 Technical Report for the department only) GRE: V340, Q800, W4.5 Math Sub.: 880(88%) Have been thinking about these schools: Caltech, Berkeley, UMD, RPI, UW(Seattle), Brown, Princeton, UNCCH any suggestions?
