<p>I'm applying for grad schools this fall, in physics and applied math. For the applied math, I would like to apply to programs that combine pure and applied math, rather than just separate applied math programs. But its too late to take the math subject, as I took the physics GRE a couple weeks ago</p>
<p>Here's my stats:
- physics gpa: 3.64, applied math: 3.93 from a top state school
- I just took the physics GRE and expect to get around 80th percentile
- general GRE: 800Q, 490V
- I've done two different research projects, but no publications.
- proof based math courses: A's in analysis, linear algebra and fourier analysis. Didn't take topology or abstract algebra</p>
<p>Applied math programs I'm thinking of applying to (since these don't require math GRE):
Maryland, UC Davis, Cornell, Brown, Arizona, NYU
Anyone know of my chances at these schools?</p>
<p>I'm also thinking of applying to these pure/applied math programs, but these strongly recommend or require the math subject GRE:
Berkeley (will consider physics GRE, but not as full replacement for math), MIT, UT-Austin (will be at disadvantage for no algebra and topology), Chicago (will review mine, but says strongest apps always contain math GRE)</p>
<p>About not taking the math GRE, I spoke to a math prof at my school about this, and he said I'll still be competitive at pure/applied math programs that require it, like NYU, UCLA, etc. Is that really true?</p>
