UBC Applied Math Vs. MU Pure Math

[sbahmanp]

Hey guys,,,,

I hope everyone finally will be gotten into their desired program,,, I indeed got stuck on deciding bw these two Math program,,,

On one hand, University of British Columbia is a great school in a very livable city with fantastic climate.. On the other side, I am going to have great pure Math professor in University of Missouri (Functional Analysis field). It is worth mentioning that both schools are with descent fund. Which one would you guys prefer to pick location wise and academic wise?!!!!

Cheers....

I know nothing about either of these math programs, or anything abut Missouri, but I vote UBC because I went there hahaha! If there is anything you want to know generally about UBC/Vancouver I'd be glad to answer!

Thanks dude for the reply...

Ya,, UBC,,, big concern is the chance of getting into any US institution after graduation out of a PhD program in Canada. Does that partially guarantee the chance somehow?!!!

Thanks any way ...

Of course you could! It is not like U.B.C. is a tiny, unknown school. I quickly looked up the math department and found this list of past grad students. The last column says 'where they are now' and a bunch of them have ended up in the States, as well as other countries. You can check it out to give yourself some reassurance.

I think Vancouver would be more along the lines of scenery you are used to in CO when compared to Kansas City.....just sayin'.
