Hey all,
So I'm starting my senior year as an undergrad at the University of Vermont. I'm a BA in Piano Performance with a minor in mathematics. I attended the New School for Jazz for 2 semesters and fell in love with NYC, but I've grown up enough to realize that if I wanted to live there, I was better off finishing my undergrad at UVM (where I have tuition remission) and returning there for my graduate degree in a more lucrative field than music. Math has always been my second passion, so I decided to focus on that for my senior year and pursue a degree in applied mathematics next, possibly with the intention of finding work in the financial sector.
After skimming over all of my options for a masters in applied math in NYC, I found that Hunter College is easily the most affordable, and likely the easiest to get into. I've got a 3.1 gpa right now, so not so stellar there, but I rock at standardized tests (2400 on the SAT, 750-800 on several SAT IIs), so I'm anticipating a high GRE score.
Is there anyone here who is currently a graduate student at Hunter in the math department? Or even undergrad? Anyone have any opinions about other options in the NYC area for applied mathematics?
