PhD in Math Programs- ultra-competitive? | 6 comments (6 topical, 0 hidden)
[new] input (none / 0) (#6)

So I got some feedback from Univ. of AZ. The director of the grad program said that if I take another grad course locally and do well with a reference, I could start in the Spring. Of course, this is nice, but will be added to the stack of applications I will complete this Fall after taking the GRE Math. I'm feeling a bit old in my early 30's to be taking the time and pains to do this, but I guess it's a decision I've made. I like the idea of a life of effecting change and educating people at a univ.. I'm sure the extra course (perhaps applied combinatorics) will help my other applications as well.
