I have not experience in the electrical engineering field, however, I can attest to the importance of research. Before I earned my master's degree (mathematics), I developed a good rapport with my thesis advisor. She said she was impressed with my ability to do independent research, so she wrote a recommendation letter to the 2 schools I applied for (Phd programs). I received a full ride with stipend from one of the schools. So, I have to agree with petermathi1-do research!

Hi, I was accepted into the Phd program in mathematics at UT. I will be receiving assistantship support as well. I'm from the Cleveland Ohio area, so it's not too far. I've never been to the campus, have you? If so, what is it like? Are you going to the orientation on August 14th? I'd like to chat.

Well, I guess the circumstances have already decided themselves. I didn't receive the offer for the full time position in Cleveland, so I will be attending UT for their Phd program. I think this is better in the long run anyways, as I am not financially stressed (I currently live at my parents house), and the Phd degree offers better pay in the long run.

I have a choice to make within the next few days. I received an offer from the University of Toledo for their Phd graduate assistant program in Mathematics. The offer seems tempting. I would have to move from Cleveland, Ohio to the Toledo area. However, the program seems more rewarding than a part time teaching position at a local college (I have a M.Sc. degree in mathematics). What are your opinions?

Hello everyone. I'm new to this site. I have a couple questions concerning Ph.D programs in pure mathematics. First, my situation. I've been accepted to Kent state university's program, however, the graduate assistant positions are still being decided. I must get the GA, otherwise I have no way to pay for the entire program. I will graduate with a M.Sc degree in mathematics this semester with roughly a 3.95 GPA (final grades will post in May). My undergrad GPA is less (3.34 including the engineering courses, but a 3.6 in math courses), but still not terrible. I've been in school since 2003. I started my career as a mechanical engineering major, but switch to mathematics during the middle of my undergrad career, thus prolonging my undergrad career. I finished my B.A in mathematics in 2010, with no engineering degree. Will this reduce my chances of getting the GA position, or will my excellent graduate record compensate for this? I've also applied to the university of Toledo. I'm waiting to hear something from them. Another option is to teach as a math instructor (lecturer) at my current school. I have several other schools interested in my resume as well. I need advice.
