Programs Considering (PhD): Harvard UC Berkeley UCLA Johns Hopkings University Carnegie Mellon University U Chicago NYU Columbia Washington Seattle Duke UNC U penn UCD I wonder am I likely to get into these programs? Since I did research only in pure math, should I aiming for a more theoretical program instead of an applied one? Who should I ask for another recommendation letter? Thanks for your advice!!
