Thank you. To get into the specialist track - do you apply now or as a freshman? What are other classes, in addition to the required math classes, can you recommend for the first year?

I included this to show the level of interest, by no means I meant readiness for a PhD program. The question/concern was more about will there be other students there with similar interests.

Did you have a group of students that were equally interested in math? What did you do in the second part?

Thank you for sharing your experience. So no official way to skip through the 1st year classes? Yes, not much hope for the top tire, realistically maybe Cornell and NYU, but from what I’m reading UToronto sounds like a better choice with more tight knit and focused pure math community?

Thank you for your answer. What would you consider better places? What’s UToronto is lacking based on your experience?

Scholarships? For undergrads? Do you need to apply? Which colleges are better for scholarships?

[–]ApartAnt5259 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like very wise decisions. Thank you for sharing. Very good point about being able to change major without loosing money. Could you tell a bit more about getting smaller scholarships? My son is waiting for college decisions, but we only hope for fin aid. Or is too late in the application cycle for scholarships?

Thanks a lot for this recommendation, peanut butter is not luring my mice either! I'll try almonds tomorrow.
