Hi all! I recently graduated a year early from Northeastern University in Boston with a B.S. in Mathematics and Biology.

I am very interested in applying to master’s programs in Mathematics in the UK, though I am scared that my Biology portion of my degree will make me a less competitive applicant.

For context, I am very interested in Research and have presented research at multiple conferences and earned Research grants and am working on a manuscript for publication. Though this is not mathematics related (contributing to my concern).

Additionally, I would be applying next cycle (it’s May 2026 right now and I want to apply for admission Fall 2027). So, I can take this year to make my application more competitive for mathematics (if anyone has advice on that let me know).

It would be my dream to study at Oxford Mathematics, though I know it is extremely competitive, so any advice/tips would help. Thank you! 🤗

Hi! I recently graduated a year early from Northeastern University with a B.S. in Mathematics and Biology. I want get my Master’s and then potentially my PHD in Mathematics, though my concern is that I may be seen as less competitive due to the Biology portion of my degree. I am planning on applying for the next cycle of masters programs (would start Fall 2027) and am very interested in the UK schools (Oxford, Cambridge, King’s, Imperial,etc). Let me know any advice/ tips from anyone who has applied to those schools/ are in math graduate programs.
