\"\"Megumi Asada \u201917, a former AWM officer, wrote the following short guide to applying to graduate school in math from Williams. They are currently teaching high school math through a teaching nonprofit called Blue Engine. The following year, they will be studying math at Cambridge on a Herchel Smith Fellowship. Feel free to contact them<\/a> with questions!<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found that a lot of information about applying has been word-of-mouth and can often feel like privileged information among those already in math circles or those who have \u201can in\u201d at prestigious graduate departments. I thought that it might be helpful to share my experience of navigating the application process as a complete beginner.<\/p>\n
