Applied Math PhD chances

[R Deckard]

Hi, I'm looking for a profile evaluation for applied math phd programs. I need to figure out where I want to apply to pretty soon.

Undergrad: big state school, solid reputation in math

Major: mathematics

GPA: 3.9

GRE: 590/800/4.5 (expect an 80th percentile on math GRE)

Type of student: domestic, male

Relevant courses and grades:

Calc II (A)

Honors Calc III (A)

Honors Fundamental Math ( B )

Biostatistics (A+)

Math Stats and Probability I (A+)

Discrete Math (A)

Combinatorics (A)

Numerical Methods (A+)

Applied Linear Algebra (A+)

Real Analysis (A+)

Applied Complex Variables (A)

Currently taking:

Numerical Analysis (expected A/A+)

Differential Equations (expected A/A+)

Math Stats and Probability II (expected A/A+)

Spring term:

Algorithms

Numerical Methods for PDE's

Abstract Albegra

Game theory (econ department)

Research experience: A summer research project investigating a new iterative method for solving large linear systems. An honors project on optimizing the lottery for state revenue. Also a project on pseudo random number generators that may result in a publication.

I should have good letters from at least 2 professors, and maybe a good third letter.

What type of schools do I have a shot at?

Do I have any shot at top 10 schools? Top 20?

150 views and nobody has any input?

Any advice at all?

That gives you an indication of how much we really know about the admissions process. You're not stupid, you know your stats look good, what else is there to say?

Ditto - I have no idea what your chances are, but your stats look impressive! Good luck!

I guess I was just concerned that since I transferred from a community college and changed majors at the same time, everything listed in my profile was done in the last 16 months and I wasn't sure if I had "enough" to get into a top (?) school.

I'm a Ph. D. student in applied math at a top 5 program, and my statistics are much lower than yours in almost every category. Work hard on your statement of purpose, and apply to every top ten program!
