Also do you guys know any other safety schools? Like any good state universities

 

 

Concerns

I know international students have higher admission standards, and i don't have particular research experiences. Does this affect any chances?

 

 

 

Any other advice is welcome

I suggest University of Maryland, Georgia Tech, and University of Texas- Austin as good public universities for applied math to consider.

could you recommend private universities?

thanks in advance.

Nice GRE subject score.

However, without publications, international competitions, or recommendations from well-known professors (which may be hard given your international background), you will most likely be out of the running for the top schools (Princeton, Harvard, NYU etc.). Math PhD pool is very, very deep.

 

Of course, you can still apply to them, but I would set your sights a little lower. University of Washington may be in the ballpark for you--have a friend with similar stats who went there.

Keep in mind that state schools are NOT just safeties. Schools like Michigan, UCLA, Texas have excellent mathematics phds programs that are extremely competitive to get into.
