I am considering CCNY or Brooklyn College Macaulay Honors program, for pure math. I noticed that their course offerings are somewhat sparse, but I can do “independent” research. Would I be able to do that, with the Professors who are Ph.D’s from MIT (my preferred college choice).

I see there are occasional stars, for example Jan Siwanowicz and Stan Katz, who are of highest caliber. How many such students do you think there are?

The Macaulay program offers only 7,500 dollars, can you provide any statistics or proof of more Research grants being offered for mathematics specifically, omitting special education or teaching research.

MIT would offer about 30,000 dollars for research over 4 years.
