Applying to a Math PhD Program

In this brief article, Neilan gives his personal recommendations based on what he has learned going through the process of applying to Math PhD programs himself and by serving as the Director of Graduate Studies at Pitt Math for the last two years. The advice he provides is mostly geared towards current undergraduates at a US university applying to a mathematics PhD program, but some aspects may also be applicable to prospective master’s students and/or international students.
