Schools lower than these... Do you have any to recommend? why don't you find out your subject scores... you may not have bombed it. also, applied math programs generally don't ask for subject test scores so you don't have much to worry (at least according to a friend of mine at ann arbor).

Hi, I'm an international student who wants to do research in low-dim topology after having worked in a completely different profession for a few years (had messed up my undergrad..low gpa but high scores in group theory, topology, functional analysis, number theory), got a job...a year or two later discovered i really wanted to do math..taught myself math after office-hours. have mediocre gre (mid-50 percentile in subject, 1400 in gre with 710q -- i freeze during sit-down tests). i ought to have decent recommendations. It'd be great if some of you could help me out with the list of schools... i am obviously not applying to the top 30...in stead am chasing specific people i would want to work with (i figure it really depends on how good you are and not where you are at) : the list: univ of iowa, notre dame, texas a&m, utah, michigan state, oklahoma, suny buffalo. do you think i have a chance? thanks a lot
