Graduate School Advice

["Justin Bronder" <Justin_Bronder () umit maine edu>]

Greetings,

I've been lurking around the bugtraq list for quite a while and in this time I've found that I was indeed correct in my 
assumption that my interest in computer science lay within the world of security assessments and cryptology.  As I will 
be
graduating with a degree in mathematics in December, I've realized that I've put off my research into graduate programs 
in New England and in the OR, WA area perhaps a bit too long.  This being said, I'm hoping that a few of you who have 
'made it'
in these fields could impart unto me a bit of advice about various schools and programs in these regions that I might 
look into.  If this message is too off-topic, I apologize, however I could not think of a better forum within which to 
ask for such
advice, the professors at my university are a bit unhelpful.  A few of the schools I'm considering include:  UW, 
Portland State, UMass Amherst, SUNY Stony Brook, MIT, Northeastern, UC Boulder, Boston University, and my home 
university of UMaine
(where I'd probably stay within the m
athematics department and work with those specializing in number theory).

My thanks in advance,
Justin Bronder
