AIM Application for Admission Admissions Process Admission to the AIM Program is determined by the AIM Admissions and Fellowship Committee and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies. Criteria for admission include an interest in an interdisciplinary area of applied mathematics in addition to substantial mathematical ability. The AIM Program generally considers admission of two types of students: Mathematics majors, with excellent grades in mathematics courses, outstanding GRE scores in the mathematics subject test, and excellent letters of recommendation. The admissions committee will also take into account other scholarly activities such as summer research experience, published papers, or courses in other fields. Non-mathematics majors from the physical, life or engineering sciences. Such students are expected to have completed at least two upper division mathematics courses, and/or have substantial exposure to mathematics in other courses, and are advised to submit a GRE subject test score for an exam in the major field (in addition to the required GRE mathematics subject test; see the note below). Other experience in working with mathematics (for instance, summer research positions) will also be taken into account, as well as any GRE scores in the major field, grade point average, and letters of recommendation. Important note: as of April 2009, the GRE Rescaled Mathematics Subject Test is required for admission to the AIM Program. Applicants not majoring in mathematics should seriously consider submitting in addition scores from a GRE subject test in their major area. Most graduate students pursuing the Ph.D. degree in the Michigan Mathematics Department are supported as graduate student instructors, research assistants, or on fellowships or traineeships.
