The profile feels a bit better this time around. Hopefully that will turn into good things! With this thread, the hunt begins...(again)

Concerns: B+ average math student, though these are generally marked harder at Queen's. My Math-econ @ Ph.D level circumvents that pretty good, I figure. We'll see. At least I'll have a good shot at U of T and UWO (and, as always, Queen's).
Applying to: UChicago, NWU, NYU, Columbia, UCSD, Cornell, BU, Minnesota, UWO, Toronto.
