  1. Well, I officially accepted a few days ago. Looks like I'll be joining you (if you accepted, that is). I am wondering the same thing myself. I e-mailed a few current students to get their perspectives. I am trying to find a house with my fiancé, three dogs, 2 cats, and a future sister in law. I don't know if I should be looking in Williamsburg or in the surrounding areas. Overall, not quite sure. Also, I haven't yet had the opportunity to visit. Have you? I look am looking forward to it; the school seems pretty inspiring. Best, Myles
  2. DrPepperolic and jblsmith, I am not going to take any classes because I simply can't afford them. If I don't get accepted where I want to I will probably work and study mathematics from some textbooks and prepare more readily for the GRE tests. Aber-leider, The Boulder decision was made about a week ago. They made all their decisions then, so if you haven't heard from them you probably won't be hearing from them. Are you a domestic student? In either case, it is probably more likely that they didn't receive your application in its entirety so never reviewed it at all. If you haven't heard from Denver about the TA position you may still be in luck. I don't know that they have made all their decisions yet but I explicitly received my decision. Thanks everybody. Myles
  3. I received an e-mail from the graduate director of Applied Sciences at the College of William of Mary replying to my inquiry of a visit to the campus/program during my spring break. His reply: A visit is often an excellent idea, since one of the most important factors in admission is a match between the interests of the student and potential faculty mentor(s). We've begun to make our admissions decisions, with that process extending out over the next three to five weeks or so. So I am thinking it is pretty essential that I visit this program. Opinions?
  4. Dear All, This is my first post to the GradCafe forums. I have followed them quite a but but have not posted until now. I wanted to poll the community on what my chances are to applying to these programs and how I should anticipate my future. Profile: Applied Mathematics Major / Computer Science Minor at Baylor University GPA: 3.50/4.00 4000-Level Math GPA: 3.67/4.00 Major GPA: 3.40 Minor GPA: 3.75 GRE: Q 680, V 560, Subject 510. REU in 2009. Two published papers (one in the relatively prestigious Involve Journal, both coauthored by myself and a high school student). Two letters from professors at Baylor (one is department chairperson), other from REU leader. Attended and presented at JMM Meetings, Session Chair on Differential Equations, Invited student speaker for panel on numerical analysis, etc. MAA Undergraduate poster winner 2 graduate courses from Baylor titled "Applied Mathematics I/II" (Applied Functional Analysis and Numerical Analysis of PDEs). Numerical Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis with A marks Very well-directed SOP (based on my extensive undergraduate research) PROBLEMS: I do NOT have the full analysis sequence I do NOT have Abstract Algebra I received poor marks (B's) in Combinatorics and Algebra (an introductory abstract algebra course) and Intro to Analysis (Baby real analysis). I applied to the following schools: WashU Rice Penn State UMD College Park NC State Raleigh (Applied Math) College of William and Mary Applied Sciences PhD and MS in Computational Operations Research UT Austin CU Boulder (Wait-listed, and according to chair not likely I will get funding) CU Denver (Accepted without TA position (FML). Worried about my analysis background). (Have not yet applied) California State Long Beach Industrial and Applied Mathematics So, what do you think? Will I get in anywhere? Overall my strengths are in research and recommendations and computer science background (for math programs), graduate courses, and SOP. Weaknesses in overall GPA and GRE scores, and the lack of some foundational math courses. Thanks for the consideration!
