Profile Review, looking for "safety" schools

Post by Luciia » Sun Dec 03, 2017 11:07 am

Hi,

Thanks for taking your time to read this! I know it's quite late already, but I'm still looking for some safety schools. I am an international female. My GRE is V:163(93)/QR:167(92)/W:4.0(60) and my MGRE is 690(58%), which is rather disappointing. I have only one REU experience, and might present the results at the upcoming JMM. Currently lost track of my recommenders, but will hopefully they'll start checking their emails soon. :shock: I'm interested in logic, but not very sure about it at the moment. Any suggestions could help.

Thanks!

UIC, I go here and your profile seems to be competitive enough. I would not consider it a safety school but I know multiple people who had a similar background. One such person is also interested in Logic and chose UIC because we are #6 in Logic. However, he is one of the most motivated students I have ever talked to so, show that you have a significant amount of motivation.

Thanks a lot! I was planning to apply to UIC anyways. I only had two courses related to logic, so I'm quite worried.
