hi, so I'm just finishing up my junior year and would like to try to go to grad school for math. I got into an REU program this summer that ends around the beginning of August and plan to start studying for the GRE sometime during the summer.
Right now though, I'm a little confused as to how I should organize my schedule for this following year. My professors either applied as foreign students or are old enough that they aren't familiar with the application process, and my school only has a few other people interested in graduate school. (I also haven't found any good resources online, but I'm probably not looking hard enough).
So, when's a good time to take the general GRE/subject test GRE? When should I apply?
I was thinking about taking the test in the late fall, apply around january, and see if I get in? Is this how most people do it?
Also, how many schools do people apply to on average? Most people seem to say to apply to a couple safety net schools, a few reasonable ones, and maybe 1 or 2 that are most likely out of reach, so around 10 schools? I just want to get a rough idea so I can pick some schools out based on what the professors are researching.
edit: err wrong forum, sorry
