Undergrad Institution: One of the NYS SUNY Schools Major(s): Math Minor(s): Atmospheric Science and History GPA: 2.58 overall/ 3.05 Math
Type of Student: Domestic, Male, Hispanic
Research area: Mostly an applied math person. ODE/PDE and complex analysis
Research Experience: None Awards/Honors/Recognitions: In Recognition of your exemplary attitude and outstanding achievements as a student with a disability (Won the award twice) Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Math tutor, bagger at a supermarket
Letters of Recommendation: None as of yet, Although I am looking at two professors who can backup reasoning as to why GPA is low.
Math/Statistics Grades: Calculus 1 D (second attempt B), Calculus 2 B-, Calculus 3 (B), Ordinary Differential Equations A-, Partial Differential equations TBD, Linear Algebra TBD, Probability Theory TBD, Statistics TBD, Advanced Calculus 1 Fall 2020, Real Analysis C (summer course 8 weeks), Complex Variables B Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: Grad Atmospheric Chemistry (currently have an incomplete but I just submitted the assignment last week), I will be taking graduate level complex analysis this Fall. Also planning to sit in an Analysis seminar called "Spaces of analytic functions"
I went to a community college and started in Intermediate Algebra and made my way to calculus 1 before I transfer. During my time at CC I had changed my major mulptic times because I wasn't sure what to do. At first I was interested in atmospheric science, Geology, Biology and chemistry. Whenever, I took the required classes I always saw myself focusing on math. I ended up transferring as a chemistry major because I was a chemistry major during that time. My first semester at SUNY, Fall 2017, started and I got my first F (Physics 1) which brought my GPA really low. Second semester I did better but organic chemistry 2 lecture was the only C- I got all other courses I was B or A that semester. In Fall 2018 I realized that I loved math more than any other subject. Now I am two semesters away from finishing. I am graduating in Spring 2021
Looking to take a 6 month or year break to study for my GRE and math GRE exam subject while I work at a library.
Final Thoughts:
1. Is there anything I can do at this point?
2. I am taking three math courses over the summer 2020 (Partial Differential equations TBD, Linear Algebra TBD, Probability Theory TBD)
3. CC 2014-2017, Four year 2017-2021
