I've been browsing the boards here, and it looks like the question has a different answer depending on the field. I'll be applying soon for a Master's degree in mathematics in a few Boston-area schools, and I was wondering just how bad the funding situation is for these. I have professional tutoring experience, which might boost my chances for a teaching assistantship, but apart from that I'm just your usual applicant.
I applied to a few schools last year for a PhD, but got into none, so this will be my second round of applications! Anybody else going in for math? Let's be friends!
