Hey what's the average math background of an accepted applicant at a top program? How much would a background in graduate level mathematics help?

Hey Everybody, I know we're all done with apps, but I'm still dying to know if anybody thinks I have shot in the world at the places I applied to. My profs didn't give me a great idea of where I should shoot for (though they are going to give me amazing LORs). Anyways any opinion is greatly appreciated!
