Did I pick the wrong MS program? | 2 comments (2 topical, 0 hidden)

I think a possible gauge for your question would be to look at the grad students who are in the PhD programs where you'd like to eventually go. I don't think this would necessarily preclude any program. I've read enough examples: someone who got their (either it was MA or BS) from Wyoming school ending up in Princeton PhD in math; UAF (again either they did an MS or a BS- I forget) ending up at Univ. MN PhD in applied math; etc. etc.. I think the keys will be: grades, GRE Math if required, research experience, and strong references. Also, I think that networking with faculty members who know people in the programs you'd like to go to sometimes helps. So, no I don't think you damaged anything, just maximize yourself while at your program and have fun too.
