Hello everyone, I would like to apply math PhD fro fall 2022. I don't have a traditional background, therefore I would like someone evaluate my profile. Since there's a lot of uncertainty in 2021, much of the information here have their uncertainty as well. However I will update the information when the things are certain. Also any advice is appreciated. Undergraduate institution: East asian university in top 20 of qs ranking Major: Physics GPA: 3.25/4.0(overall) Math course: Calculus(A-), engineer maths(A), multivaraible calculus(B+/A-), Linear algebra (A-), topology(B) Graduate: One of the German Universities Excellence Initiative Major: Master of Mathematical physics Grade:1.47(German grading, 1 is the best, 5 is fail) Math course: Geometry of manifolds(1), representation theory(1), mathematical quantum theory(1.3), mathematical relativity(1), mathematical statistical physics(2), algebraic topology(taking), introduction to commutative algebra and algebraic geometry(taking), functional analysis(taking) Course plan to take in 2021: Introduction to real analysis, introduction to abstract algebra Research experience: 1. Working as a master student(research oriented) in my alma mater in theoretical physics for three years. 2. Undergraduate project on physics. 3. Working on master dissertation right now (C* algebra) LoR: My plan is one letter form my supervisor, two letters from the course I get 1. GRE: Not taken(may take it in 2021) GRE math: Not taken(may take it in 2021) Award: Two year scholarships for full time master student in my alma mater. type of student: International Asian male Type of PhD: Mathematics Research interest: Operator algebra, noncommutative geometry School I am planning to apply: UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt U, U of Chicago Am I too weak for these schools? Anything I can do in 2021 to increase my chance? Thank You in advance!
