GRE Math Subject: 980

Programs Applying: Master in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics in Europe

Recommendation Letters: Professors of Real Analysis, Measure Theory and Functional Analysis

Coding Experience: Java, Matlab, Python

Research Interest: Game Theory, Networks and Graph Theory, Discrete Optimization

Applying to:

• EPFL
• ETH Zurich
• Bonn
• TU Munich
• Ecole Polytecnique
• University of Amsterdam

Concerns:

• very very few algebra course
• not math major
• taking reference from not grade A course

I am currently graduated and enroll in a master in economics program. I am specialized in game theory. I think that having a master degree in math will be better for my Ph.D. studies. I want to be in Europe during my grad life.

I would really appreciate any comments/advice on my list of schools and on any other programs I should consider. Am I aiming too high with no safeties? Am I competitive enough for those schools in my list? Is being Econ major really bad sign or a negative point for those programs? Has being enrolled in a master program negative impact on my application profile?

Thank you in advance.
