<p>applying to: Michigan, Cornell, Northwestern, and UT-Austin</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Ah, I see. Here is the edited stat.</p>
<p>I'm applying to Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Princeton, Cornell, Michigan, Chicago and Columbia for math.</p>
<p>I'm from a tier 2 school though, although it is well recognized. I also had 2 REUs like most people here.

<p>Rokxal, how did you pull off 2 publications with that gpa? Just seems like a discrepancy..</p>
<p>try graduating in 3 years while double majoring in cs/math and doing research. Its called getting overworked ;(</p>
<p>Btw, how is it a discrepancy? You expect everyone who does research to have a 3.8?</p>

<p>Feel free to give me your suggestions/opinions/gut feelings about my chances :).</p>
<p>HT2010, you should apply to some safety schools. No offense, but see Dilsky's profile. He went to a top notch undergrad with similar stats (with a publication) and he has a much more realistic apply list. It's not too late to apply to a safety school. You're only applying to top 10 schools, you must apply to at least a few safety schools.</p>
<p>I heard from my professors that there is no point in going to second tier school... because it will be really hard to get a faculty position later. Partially due to quality of second-tier programs, and partially because good faculty positions ... are peer-reviewed by people at good universities :P.</p>
