PhD in Math and other STEM. Sweat thread

@NASA2014
Sorry, your post on another thread sounded much less math related. So, wait a minute, does your school require just 4 (upper division?) math courses? Also, what did you take for Real Analysis? Was it Baby Rudin book?
Anyway, I wish you luck. Do you have an area (of math) that you like more than others? If you are in applied math, do you have a related science (physics? biology? chemistry? computer science?) where you’d like to apply your math knowledge to? I mean, I am searching for a way you are going to form your “Statement of Purpose”. You will have to make claims there, state your interests, and they should be confirmed with facts (classes you took and research you did).
In any event, I wish you luck of course. And surely do take GRE general, and GRE math subject. Many schools require of recommend math subject test. If the result is not great on the April test, you will be able to take it again in September and October. And in any event, if the subject test is not required, you will not have to send the results in, if you do not like the result. But if you get a good score, it indeed may help you.
Check out web site https://mathematicsgre.com/ - many PhD math candidates discuss stuff there. The knowledge of this collective is considerable!
And at the end let me put e quote here, from Ohio State graduate math program.
