<p>Okay so I go to the university of Georgia and I am a double major in math education and math. I want to get into a really good grad school but I'm not sure of my chances. I would love to go to somewhere in New York like nyu or Columbia, which is a stretch, I'm sure. But I would also be okay with a top 25 school like UC San Diego or something (anywhere out of the south and with a pretty view,really)</p>
