I'm planning on compromise, I'm just asking if anyone has any pointers along this line of thought. Is it worth telling the graduate programs you apply to/get accepted into. Sorry if my original post sounded self centered, I'm well away of the dual of my problem. I'm just concerned about the...
I applied to 8, I might've applied for more but I also have a bunch of study abroad apps to worry about for next semester. I'm really ready to stop applying to things and actually get some **** done for once...
I got to a small liberal arts college that encourages its students to go into fields that benefit the world, teaching is has high priority with research. I've heard of more than 1 assistant professor getting a tenure track position here because the students reported teaching skills better than...
As for high school, my dad is a high school teacher, who's also taught community college. He's affected a few kids lives, but over the years I've watched that profession suck out his soul piece by piece.
I was wondering if I should try and add on an education minor, or concentration, while...
Are the prospects for a Math PhD just as grim? I'd like to end up at a teaching institution eventually, and I know there's no way in hell I'll end up at Harvard and the like, but is academia really so crowded they won't even let teaching professors in?
I'm thinking about taking courses, but my department is pretty awesome at really getting me to understand the material completely, and it's not like I don't have enough time to take all the math I want from them (I'm done with distribution, so I have 14 to 16 courses left since I'll probably...
I concur.
I go to a small liberal arts college with no graduate program, so the school provides funding for the students to do research with faculty. While this isn't limited to US citizens, it is limited to students enrolled at my school AFAIK. I was suggesting that you should talk to your...
Apparently Small has contacted it's top choices, while I suppose there's always the possibility that you'll be called later when someone turns down the position, I think it's pretty safe to assume you didn't make the cut if you haven't been contacted. (you could always email them and ask though)
Interesting thread, I came to college uninterested in math because I didn't think I was 1 of the .01% who could make it as a researcher. I still don't think I'm in the top .01% but I'd still like to pursue a math PhD. The only problem is that I don't know what to do with it other than becoming a...
I'm a sophomore interested in pure math who's been looking at an applying for REU's for the last 2 months (in fact, I discovered this forum while looking for REU advice), but I'm not going to be surprised if I'm not accepted into any of the programs.
My plan B is to try and get a research...
The only international student I know at my college gave up on REUs for exactly this reason and is hoping to get something here at our school since the college has a fund for student researchers that is independent of the NSF, but I don't know if that's an option for you.
As for sending an...
