I am so clueless about applying postgrad school. Thus, I have few concerns about them. but first of all, I have planned to apply the following school:
University of Washington at Seattle PhD Maths
UC San Diego PhD Maths
UC berkeley PhD Applied Maths
UC Los Angeles PhD Maths
UCB M Financial Engineering
Cornell M Operational Research
NYU M Maths in Finance
U Chicago M Financial Maths
University of Texas at Austin PhD Applied Maths
UT Austin MA Actuarial
SMU M Operations Research
UTD PhD Applied Maths
my first question is that regardless what school I apply, what kind of student is easier to have tuition waived? PhD or Master?
I ask this question because tuition is my major impediment. The bottom line of this is that as long as I can get a job afterward, then I don't care how much time I put in my degree.
the next question is that which is the most promising school and degree in term of future career. Not that I am money-sucking animal, but I need money for supporting my family and my further dream .
third question: I am very interested into variational principle, and I also like tensor, and differential geometry. What school out there has a strong research group in that?
forth question: I am a Texas resident currently, would the rate of tuition differ if I apply out-of-state school as Master or PhD?
fifth question: I am considering SMU and UTD as back-up school. Are they appropriate to be considered?
sixth question: According to my plan, I will take all possible classes for Applied Maths and Stat degree. What is a better title for job purpose? What about further educational purpose
If I choose one, does that move eliminate my choise of type of job?
seventh question: Beside school in Texas, what school on my list have the best cost with respect to its quality?
last question: What do I need to prepare for application? I can only think of Statement of Purpose, GRE, GRE Subject, Application, Transcript, and Recommandation Letters.
I am one of the first to go to college in my family. I want to make things prefect so that later I can be helpful to my other family member. I rather be a good role model than a bad one.
If anyone has answer to any of those questions, I strongly appreciate that!
