Sure. I admit that the application I made to Princeton was a little bit off mark, if one thinks that my field of study is not very popular there. I should have applied to Texas instead, but I didn't for some reason (one of my recommenders is a great friend and co-worker of a faculty member in...

In the end, the deadlines are approaching... any advice?

I am in the opposite situation of yours, I did not have an outstanding score in the GRE subject (83%, even if I had just one try, while the schools to which you are applying will see all your 3 attempts) but have research experience (published on a top journal) and great recommendations. I...

The fact is that I already have very good contacts with faculty at Indiana University; I am almost sure I will get in that program, which is a top 5 tier program for PDE and Dynamical Systems. However, I am kinda annoyed when lots of people (including my parents) do not seem impressed with IU...

I already did. They answered what I already knew: except for Berkeley, which has an 80% percentile requirement, they restated the fact that there is no minimum score required and that GRE scores only represent a part, more or less important, of the application. I also asked about the...

Thank you. The problem is, shall I apply to some less appealing university, in your opinion?

Well, I had 770 (83%). I am a graduate in Mathematical Engineering, from Italy, with Honors and a 4.00 (converted) GPA in mathematics (3.97 overall). I am well prepared on calculus and diff.equations, but I know only basic abstract algebra (the things from algebra one needs in other branches of...

I am an Italian graduate in Mathematical Engineering (with a converted 3.97 GPA, 4.00 GPA in Math courses), and I am willing to pursue a PhD degree in pure mathematics. Since I had very good GRE and toefl scores (720 V - 800 Q - 4.5 A for the GRE, 115/120 Toefl), I have good recommenders, and...
