cyprusprior Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I suggest University of Maryland, Georgia Tech, and University of Texas- Austin as good public universities for applied math to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMX Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepencils Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
