Does anyone have any information on Mizzou's AgEcon? I'm interested in issues related development, in general. I've heard they have some people doing development stuff, but I was wondering if anyone has anything particular information about their department\recent placements\potential research and jobs after? Do you guys think it's worth the investment to go there? Thanks.

The higher level classes send a stronger signal and are generally considered more important, i.e., if you get a (B) in Calc III but then an (A) in Advanced Calculus or Analysis, this would send a strong signal to Adcoms that you're able to handle more rigorous math courses and the (B) in Calc III won't be that big of a deal. GO BEACH!!!!

15 to 18 sounds about right... 5 reaches, 10 within range, and 3 safeties.

It depends on the schools you're applying to. However, generally speaking, most schools won't care much for the verbal component. NO need to retake the GRE! Plus, you have a very solid TOEFL. Don't worry!

Skip Diff Eq for the next semester, take Linear Algebra and Intro to Mathematical proofs instead. You'll use some Linear Algebra in a typical ODE course, so it's always nice to have it first. Either way you should be fine, but that's just my opinion.

Clemson--- August 6 Missouri--- NO math camp!

Your GRE's are fine, no need to worry about retaking the test. Tell us more about your background so we can help you. I.e., undergrad record, math courses taken, any research experience, etc.

If you really want to prepare for math camp, I would suggest you contact your department and ask them about the contents for their math camp and get those books ahead of time. From what I've heard, the stuff reviewed during math camp differs slightly from school to another. Not to downgrade the relaxing/chilling part during the summer before the first year, I think the above comments about just taking it easy for a few months are very on the money.

^^Definitely true. Modeling seems like the most fun, but optimization will benefit you most.

Does this mean by going to a 50-100 range school you'd have a chance teaching at schools like the CSU system? All of my former professors (at a CSU) were from places like UCLA, Ohio State, Wisconsin, ...etc.

That's awesome news:victorious:. What about their philosophy (the department)? As far as micro, I saw they have a lot of micro oriented fields. Maybe half and half! They do seem strong in micro as well, right? I wonder why aren't they ranked higher than 72 (by US news.)

I'm from California DGSE. I can you for sure that all you need to do is get a CA driver's license or an apartment contract showing your name and date, and if the date is one day before the semester starts (your next year), then you WILL have residency. As soon as you arrive in Cali at the beginning of August you will begin the process of residency, just make sure to keep everything showing the early August arrival date in Cali. Of course being a US Citizen or a permanent resident is implied here since residency requirements doesn't apply to international students.

I know that WUSTL advises the St. Louis fed, but is it true also for faculty at Missouri? Looking at their fields of strength, they seem to be more Micro oriented, what do you think?

Answer is Col A. Try plugging in numbers, X and Y both positive and X>Y..... Try X=3, Y=1. Also try X= 1/4 and Y= 1/8.....Answer is Col A.
