[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interest in theoretical math = PhD program in math. Look at the feeder schools into math PhD programs: https://www.collegetransitions.com/dataverse/top-feeders-phd-programs You really want to look at *per capita* rankings not overall. It means a lot more if you have 5 out of 10 math majors at Swarthmore regularly heading into PhD programs vs 5 out of 500 math majors at Berkeley.[/quote] Why would you say that? That page says. Berkely has 100 PhD-bound math student to Swarthmore's 22. Another example, UVA sending 41 students to Math PhDs, and Haverford College sending 12. Those 100 Berkeley students or 41 UVA students are going to be a more vibrant math community with more opportunities and relationships, even though thousands of non-pure-math majors are also on campus.
