Graduate Schools for Future Positions
Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2017 2:16 am
Hi all,
I just started my third year as an undergraduate math major intending on attending graduate school, so I've started to think more and more about grad admissions.
Though I am satisfied with my math transcript and GPA so far, I am concerned about various other factors of the application (recommendations, mGRE, etc). I had originally wanted to shoot for the very top schools, but realistically I know that I can't guarantee that.
So I'm wondering - how much harder would it be to secure postdoc positions, professorships, etc. if I attend a less prestigious program?
Thanks.
