PHD in Math at Harvard

<p>I don’t want to burst your bubble, but I know some people currently in the Harvard Math PhD program and I applied to it last year with great grades, 2 strong letters and I was in the process of writing a paper that was going to be published and I still didn’t get in. One of the students I know at Harvard took 6 grad courses at a top notch undergrad and got all A’s. </p>

<p>If you want to really go to math grad school, be realistic. Even if you get a 99% on the GRE Math that is not going to get you into Harvard. Kids at Harvard have multiple publication and sometimes have taken double digit grad courses and aced all of them.</p>

<p>If you are serious about math, look at other schools.</p>
