Rachel's background:
- Rachel's background includes Bachelors in Applied Mathematics and a minor in physics. She did research as an undergraduate at SUNYIT on Cartan Matrices. Rachel says,"Having done undergraduate research was pivotal in my applying to graduate schools. It set me apart from other students and as such I received more scholarship money."
Advice for students:
-
My advice to current students would be to do some research as an undergraduate; you’d be surprised how interesting and fun it can be. When you get your bachelor's degree remember you can adjunct teach at any community college, which helps with finances while you finish your Master’s program.
