Re: math grad admissions

From: "grad.student" <asdlkjfqwe3...@xxxxxxxxx>
I have no real research experience. This may be due to ignorance
on my part, but I don't see how mathematical research is even
possible at the MS level.

IMO that's a petty excuse. I did math research as an undergraduate.
I demonstrated (by construction) the existance of singly-generated
differential ideas of all possible finite exponents. If I could do
research at the undergraduate level, then I see no validity to your
denial of math research possible at MS level. Maybe you went to the
wrong school, where undergrad/MS research isn't encouraged by any
of the professors?

I was not disadvantaged when taking the GRE, except by my own
overconfidence and lack of preparation.

That'll do it every time. :-)

In any case, what is the best way to proceed?

If you can find a professor at your school that encourages students
to do research:
Switch to that professor.
otherwise:
Transfer to a school that encourages students to do research.
Then in either case:
Do some research.
Then get back to your main plan.
