Hi!

I am a final year bachelor's student majoring in Math. I live in India, but I would like to go the the States or Europe for master's degree. I'd eventually like to do applied mathematics (I'm open to doing pure math at this stage). Can someone tell me which schools offer decent math master's courses and maybe brief me on what whole admission procedure will be like. I'm giving my general GRE test next week. Will I have to give my subject GRE even if I'm not applying for a Phd? Any advice is welcome.
