<p>What the hell are you talking about sr?</p>
<p>Do you even know anything about Peking U? A 3.6 there is definately not something to be ashamed of. </p>
<p>No chances? What are you smoking?</p>
<p>UPENN is a top school. But I think you have a shot as well. By CIT I am assuming you mean cal tech? Please correct me if I am wrong.</p>
<p>Are you applying for undergraduate? What type of math are you interested in? I think you will be fine at any of the schools you mentioned but are those really the best departments for you? I don't understand Brown......why isn't Univ. Wisconsin Madison on your list if Texas is? I am surprised that Princeton isn't on your list.</p>
<p>in PS i mentioned one-month volunteer experience in china tennis open, some teaching experience with three students</p>
<p>i do not know too much about US universities. most information comes from their home page. i would appreciate your help very much, if u give me some concrete advices about universities.</p>
<p>i am applying for graduate</p>
<p>OK that make some difference. Have you taken Putnam Exam? How did that go for you? What area of math are you wanting to study? This is important really.</p>
<p>no putnam.
i am interested in algebra, especially number theory and group theory</p>
<p>Have you looked at the Duke math department?</p>
<p>Why would you not apply to top schools?</p>
<p>oK...SORRY if my comments were harsh...</p>
<p>I concede...</p>
<p>That's nothing. I am very grateful for all your advices</p>
<p>People, a gold at IMO means that this guy has one of the top mathematical minds in the world. It is a HUGE achievement.</p>
<p>wbtong, if your English skills are decent (did you take the TOEFL?) you have a very good chance at harvard mit and caltech. Keep in mind that as a international student, aid money will be very limited (though I'm sure being a freaking IMO medalist will get you some merit aid) at most schools, so if your family isn't well off you could have problems.</p>
<p>Nice post.........the OP must be brilliant and wanting to come to US. I gave him some contacts who speak Chinese and one prof he had studied w/ in China. I wish I had a small finger full of his math comprehension. That is certain.</p>
<p>what is the answer to the universe wb?</p>
<p>ni hao. if you are not comfortable with english, i don't mind translating pin yin to english for you.</p>
<p>hi sympathy, r u from china?</p>
<p>Did you get the PM I sent you w/ the math departments linked to faculty and research projects? I hope you can read them well enough to learn what department is good for you. Chicago looks okay to me.</p>
<p>sure,the information u supply today is invaluable to me. i will take a careful consideration on all the universities u suggested.</p>
<p>If you don't mind......what schools are the other students in your department applying to? Are all other students seeking US schools?</p>
<p>People on CC are all helpful. If you need other help to navigate directly to the dept or other help post here and someone will help you. It is a good resource to come here.</p>
<p>yes I am. Dad from Shanghai and mom from Tianjing</p>
