What book are you using for analysis? How well respected is your university? (being at University of Michigan versus IUPUI makes a big difference)

[phdseeker]

Yale for certain should be included. You look like a strong candidate for Top 5

I go to SUNY-Stony Brook. It is well-respected in the area. I used Introduction to Real Analysis, 3rd Edition
by Robert G. Bartle (Author), Donald R. Sherbert.
