But if your background is good enough to be considering the top tier (Harvard, MIT, etc.), then I don't seen any reason why you shouldn't apply to NYU.
BTW.. Harvard in Applied Math? I don't know. At least it does not feature in the US News rankings.
To be admitted into the Math Education program at NYU, students must have a strong academic background in mathematics, with a minimum of a B average in math courses. They must also have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and a completed undergraduate degree. GRE scores are not required, but may be submitted to strengthen the application.
While there is no specific subject area that is required for admission, it is recommended that students have a strong foundation in algebra, geometry, and calculus. Additionally, experience in teaching or tutoring mathematics is highly valued.
There are no specific pre-requisite courses, but students are expected to have completed a minimum of 12 credits in math courses at the undergraduate level, including calculus and linear algebra.
In addition to the standard graduate application, students must also submit a personal statement outlining their interest in math education, a resume or CV, and at least two letters of recommendation. International students must also provide proof of English proficiency.
The Math Education program at NYU is designed for individuals who are interested in teaching mathematics at the secondary or community college level. However, it is also open to students who are interested in pursuing careers in curriculum development, educational research, or other related fields.
