I see on their home page that he won the Abel prize, but I’ve often considered the Fields medal to be the “Nobel Prize of Mathematics” (which I hope Ken Ono gets!). That said, math departments and applied math departments are often very different beasts in terms of faculty, funding, classwork, job opportunities, etc.

Also, what are my chances of getting some sort of scholarship as a transfer there? This is a general question, because not knowing much about me you can’t answer, so I guess it’s more about what the chances of a transfer student receiving scholarship money are. I would think schools would less actively be vying with each other for transfers. Maybe a more appropriate question is whether or not they offer merit based scholarship and if so whether transfer students are eligible or likely to receive it.

Thanks for your time.
