<p>hey does anyone know when would be a good time during college to apply to grad school for math? like what part of what year, etc. Also when should I take the grad school exams, GRE's, whatever tests there are specific to math, etc. And what's a good list to look at, the US News rankings? Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.</p>
<p>Math grad school application are usually due from mid December sometimes until February (but usually around mid january). It can't hurt to get them in earlier than that, and it might even help you. You need to take the general GRE and the GRE math subject test. You can take the GRE pretty much any day you want, but there are only 3 testing dates for the subject test. I know for sure that if you take the GRE subject test on the second date, you'll still be able to get your scores to graduate schools for consideration (can't remember about the third one).</p>
<p>US News is a pretty good good guide, especially to see which schools are good at specific subfields you may be interested in. phds.org has a graduate school finder where you put in how much various factors matter to you, and it ranks schools according (though I don't think it does a very good job). The National Research Council is releasing rankings of graduate programs this September for the first time since 1995, so that would also be a pretty important thing to look at.</p>
<p>these are times during senior year that i should apply, right? and as for the GRE's, do most people usually take them junior year or senior year?</p>
