<p>I am just finishing up my honors year in applied mathematics (a Bachelor of Science) in Australia (USyd). My GPA is 3.65 (out of 4), and I will graduate with first class honors. I haven’t taken the general GRE yet, but expect good results. I will not be taking the subject GRE, as I simply don’t have the time to prepare for it. This may cut out a lot of US schools for me. I also have excellent referees.</p>
<p>I am interested in applied differential equations and applied probability theory. Rather than doing a PhD just in these areas, I have recently been considering specializing in ecological modeling (specifically in the conservation ecology area). I have been offered a PhD in this area here in Australia with $26,000 USD a year funding, and no tuition costs. </p>
<p>I am still looking into my international options, so given these preferences, does anyone have any suggestions for schools in the UK, US, Canada or Europe where I would have a chance of getting funding and waived tuition? Imperial College has a great quantitative ecology department, however I have heard that there aren’t many avenues for international students to get funding in the UK.</p>
