>>12103177>I said that Pure Math is the most selective and elitist field for grad school and research, which it is.I wouldn't say so. I had about 5 grad courses, honors, and about 3 semester's worth of research experience, and I got into top 20s with good reccs.
I would say hep-th in physics is the hardest to break into, but that being 'hard to get into, selective' has very little to do with the quality of people they're bringing in and more about luck, trends, talking to the right people, etc.
>tight the assholes of senior faculty at elite uni math programs are....they're not as tight as you would think, especially if you did fine in grad analysis and algebra, or topology.
>than you can possibly fathomI applied for math grad schools and got in.
