When applying to grad school, a rule of thumb is to apply to "safety schools". I am wondering does that mean these schools we apply to may not have our desired programs?
I live in Canada and I am interested in mainly differential geometry for grad studies, but there aren't many grad programs with a focus in the subject; at most I could name four universities: UBC UofT, Waterloo, and McMaster with a focus.
But these universities are all "top tier" in the Canada. Other universities have Geometry groups, but they don't focus in Diff Geometry.
If you are applying to a math grad school that don't have a focus in your area does that mean you can't do your Ph.D (what I want) in that university?
Thank you
