Admission Test
Along with personal information and letters of recommendation, each applicant must take one of the three admission tests. The admission test is the student’s opportunity to demonstrate the willingness to explore advanced mathematics topics and the ability to tackle challenging, non-routine problems. It is not only the raw test score that matters but the love of mathematics that becomes transparent in the student’s application.
The 2006 admission tests are provided here as a reference:
