Best Grad Schools for PDE and Probability and Math Subject Test

[kmgilroy89]

Hello,

I have 2 questions:

First, where can I find the best graduate schools for PDE & Probability? I'm thinking MIT and NYU are really good, although I could be wrong.

Second, I was wondering if my expected math background is good enough to get into the 90th percentile on the GRE Subject Test:

Calc 1-3
ODE
PDE
Linear Algebra
Abstract Algebra
Real Analysis
Complex Analysis
Numerical Analysis
Probability Theory
Mathematical Statistics
Capstone Project: Stochastic Processes

I won't have discrete math, number theory, geometry, or topology. Would I need to take courses on these subjects?

Thank you

Your course work is fine for the math gre, but that's not what the math gre is about. It's quite a bit different than most upper division math classes.

1) Are you fast? Most people I know who take the math gre have struggled to finish and most can't actually complete the full 66 questions.

2) Hows your calculus? Not analysis, just basic calculus. There are a lot of tricky calculus problems.
