    thank god the selection process in europe is different. writing an essay on why you want to do a masters is ridiculous. people wanting to improve themselves is obvious no explanation needed.

      That's actually a very good point and I agree. Unfortunately ,.. when the amounts of applications surpasses the availability of spaces...additional barriers to entry gets added,...hence "just wanting to improve yourself" usually isn't enough.

[real analysis and abstract algebra questions pummeled me.] was told (on message boards) that unless you're in 90s, you have no chance of top-tier grad school. and if you don't get top-tier grad school, you have no chance of becoming faculty. [again, unless you can check the right under-representation box(es).] fyi..

      @@gregy1570 The problem is that lesbian women of color just don't apply to maths programs in the first place, and that's why affirmative action exists. It's a statistical question initially, so you should understand that, but since you're too dumb to hit more that 68% in your maths exams, I don't expect you to get it. Get lost justifying your individual mediocrity with politics.
