I have a bit similar math grades. My overall GPA was 3.3 from one of the top universities in my country. I have completed Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra I with A+ but I then got D in Linear Algebra II in my last semester. I was working full-time at the moment and couldn't take the final. I got A+ in Real Analysis but I didn't take other advanced math classes like Numerical Analysis. I am also curious how adcoms will view mine..

Did you start applying already? I'm not an expert at all but I would worry about low GRE score and consider retake. I think you have time to retake because there are a lot of schools whose application deadline is in feb or mar if you are not aiming top 30. Good luck on your applications!

For further information, I started working (officially hired, not as an intern) before I finished my degree and I did kind of data analysis project to get the position which also hurted my last semester including linear algebra II.

Undergrad Institution: Top 3 in South Korea Major(s): Stat GPA: 3.31 / 4.00 Type of Student: International Asian Male GRE General Test: Q: 170 V: 156 W: 3.5 Courses taken: ELEMENTARY STATISTICS(B) ELEMENTARY STATISTICS WORKSHOP(B) - I didn't study at all in my 1st year and didn't retake later because I wanted to take more advanced classes with my limited time.

Now I'm trying to apply for master programs and PhD and my goal isn't very high. I'm aiming at schools ranke 30~50 and I wonder if I have any chance to be admitted by any school. Program: Master, PhD School List: Iowa State / U of Iowa / Penn State / Ohio State / Miami OH / Colorado State / Florida State / U of Florida / Michigan State / Oregon State / Indiana U University of Cincinnati (worst case scenario) I wonder if there is any "match or safety" school for me. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
