<p>Restarting a list of everyone's specialty and schools they are applying to so we can get an idea of who is around...</p>
<p>I'll start with myself since I'm not sure if the others on the old master list are still applying to the same schools (a lot can change in a month!).</p>

<p>You mean Colorado State University at Fort Collins? Woah. Somehow I think that there is a bit of a quality difference between Colorado State and MIT/Stanford/Berkeley/Michigan.</p>
<p>Yes, I'm aware of that :)
But there is a reason for that. </p>
<p>I'm Portuguese and so I was a little more helpless than the average US prospective graduate student. There is a professor from Colo State that gave me a Summer Course in 2004, and besides being a great course, he afterwards has been helping me with my proccess.
An since he would be a nice advisor anyway I put Colo State as my last and safe choice. I know that I'll be accepted there and probably with a nice scholarship. They have some good professors there in my area anyway (algebraic geometry).</p>
<p>I hadn't done the GRE subject by the time I applied and was afraid that if I only applied to top schools a bad grade would let me out of Grad School.
That didn't happen (97th percentile) so I'm waiting and hoping for Berkeley to accept me.</p>
<p>What about Michigan for Information Sciences? Their program looks amazing. I'm only an undergrad (English) considering Info Sciences, and that's how I came across this discussion. Anyway, continue...</p>
