I was wondering how to go about preparing for the MATH Gre Subject Test? After some research online, I found that the best way to prepare is to go through textbooks, not GRE Review books (i.e. Cracking the GRE Math Subject Test by Princeton Review). Is that true?
What textbooks do you suggest I go through for the following subjects? I've put in parentheses the books I've used so far.
1) Calculus/Differential Equations (Stewart, Apostol)
2) Linear Algebra (Axler, Strang)
3) Abstract Algebra (Gallian)
4) Complex Analysis (Stein)
5) Real Analysis/Topology (Bartle, Munkres)
6) Discrete Mathematics
Thanks!

Is post-undergraduate Abstract Algebra favorable even in Applied Math?

Hi, I am applying to Masters programs in Statistics for this fall and I was wondering if I could get some advice on my applications. My profile:
Undergrad Institution: University of Toronto
Major: Chemistry
GPA: 3.50 (Overall), 3.63 (Math)
GRE: 161 Q, 155 V, 3.5 AW
Relevant Coursework: Advanced Calculus (A), Linear Algebra (A), Probability (A-), Statistics (A), Real Analysis I (A), Real Analysis II (B-), Measure Theory I (A-), Measure Theory II (B+), Regression and ANOVA (A-), Stochastic Processes (B ), Numerical Linear Algebra (A-)
Research: Nothing notable, but a senior research thesis in chemistry. Also a data analysis project in my regression analysis course:
LORs: Two chemistry professors, and a pure mathematics professor who know me well
Schools I've Applied To: UIUC, UNC-Chapel Hill, NCSU, Iowa, UCSB, UC Davis, UM-Twin Cities
Do I have a decent shot at any of these schools? None of them are considered to be "safeties". I'm worried about my chances. Should I apply to a couple lower ranked schools?

I apologize for being off-topic, but has UNC already sent out acceptances for their MS Stats program?
