PHD in Math

Graduate School
1

<p>I am going to be a 3rd year math major at the University of California Irvine, and I am interested in getting a PHD in Math after I finish my undergrad. I currently have 3.77 gpa. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on getting into grad school. I have no research experience, but am planning to get a minor in computer science which would delay my graduation another year giving me 3 years total for chances to do research. </p>

<p>I was wondering if its hard to get into a PHD program, some of the schools ive been looking at are USC, Claremont grad school, and some mid tier UC's such as Davis, Riverside, Santa Barbara. </p>

<p>Im not looking to get into the best school just a pretty good one. </p>

<p>If anyone can give me advise that would be great.</p>

<p>Aside from doing research, take as many graduate-level sequences as you can (and do really well, obviously). You may want to consider applying to an REU program one or two summers.</p>
