Mission Graduate School -- Success

I’ve officially been accepted to two PhD applied math programs: Northwestern and University of North Carolina. I’ve also been accepted to the Masters of Science program at the University of Washington. Both of the PhD offers came with full fellowship offers(at least for the first year), which basically means that I just need to go and give them the best bang for their buck with my brainpower for five years, and then I’ll have my PhD. Awesome. All three schools are outstanding and have amazing faculty, as best as I can tell.

Professor Kutz has recommended I take some Dynamical Systems(AMATH575, spring quarter) and the Advanced Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations course(AMATH568, summer quarter in some special way). They’re both fairly intimidating courses, but it’d be a great confidence boost for next fall, no matter where I ended up, assuming that I lived through the experience. Though, honestly, looking through the previous year’s, I think I’m up for it.

I have also booked my tickets to visit both University of North Carolina and Northwestern University. I’ll be visiting NU March 15 through 17, and UNC March 19 through 21. I could not be more excited!
