PhD in Pure Math

[sam34567]

I am from India.

I have a masters degree in math with a gpa of 7.6/10.

My gre score is 322 and I have 3 in analytical writing.

I have 7.5 in IELTS.

I want to apply for a phd program in pure mathematics.

My interests are more towards the geometry related fields.

I was hoping someone could help me figure out which universities to apply to. And should I give the subject test?

Will it be a problem that my quant score is just 163 and analytical writing score is so low?

The subject test seems to be pretty important (just the impression I've goten from reading these boards). The quant score is not that low (would have looked like a better score in the old system).

[sam34567]

what about the anlytical writing score. its just 3.

does tht matter?

For an international student; probably not. Still low as hell though. Most PhD programs have subject test requirements or highly recommend them.

UCSB

Texas A&M

I would suggest you ask an academic at your current university for advice. They are more likely to have experience with similar students and to know more about various universities.

Got rejected from UCSB for this fall. Was told there is place for only one international applicant in the current scenario. It is better to ask them before you apply
