DiffyQ

I'm applying for math PhD programs this year, and Stanford has me a bit confused. A while ago they sent an e-mail to everyone telling us not to ask them questions like this, so I'm wondering if people here have any idea what's up, or would just like to wager a guess. Last Thursday or Friday (I forget which) they sent a whole bunch of rejections, and I didn't get one. Then today, there were some people who posted here about getting wait-listed, but I didn't get that either. Should I assume I'm out of the running at this point? It seems like they would have rejected me last week, but I don't want to get my hopes up when it's probably unwarranted.

Not a thread. It's the "Results Search" linked at the top of each page.

That's what I'm saying I think is unlikely: How could places like Berkeley and Cornell be all done already when it's barely been a month since they stopped accepting applications? Are you still talking to me?

I've applied to all four of the schools you're applying to, plus five more, and I've heard nothing at all. This seems a little early for all decisions to be finalized though, doesn't it? Stanford's Web site says they won't be done until late February or early March.

I really have no idea how to rate my own chances of getting into grad school, so I thought some of you might be able to help. I'm applying to math Ph.D. programs, and I'm currently in my fourth year at U. Chicago as an undergrad. I'm thinking of going into algebraic geometry, but I'm far from certain about it. GPA: 3.81 (both major and overall) GRE's: Q800 (94%), V710 (98%), W4.5 (58%), Subject test 840 (92%) The list: Harvard Princeton MIT Berkeley Stanford Michigan UCLA Columbia Cornell I'll have taken a large chunk of the upper-level math classes they offer here, as well as a year of graduate algebra and a quarter of graduate computability theory. My letters of recommendation are from three senior professors: Paul Sally, an analyst; Peter May, a topologist; and Madhav Nori, an algebraist. I think they'll all say pretty good things about me. I did U. Chicago's REU three years in a row. Peter May runs the program, and his philosophy (which I actually think is a pretty good one) is that a math undergrad's summer is better spent learning than doing research that is technically original but conceptually shallow. So I have two papers (I was interrupted by appendicitis in 2006) from the program, but they're both expository, and published only on Peter May's Web site. I worked for a quarter with a research team in the computer science department developing a compiler for a language a professor there was developing. My name is on a status report which was published and presented at a conference which I did not attend. Other than this, I have no publications to my name. Is that bad? I was thinking of being a math/CS double major for my first two years here, but switched to just math in the middle. I address why very briefly in my SoP. I got straight A's in the CS classes I did take. Does this potential indecisiveness hurt my chances? Does the breadth of exposure help my chances? EDIT: One thing I forgot to mention. I'm unusually young for this; I'll be 20 when I would be entering grad school. Does anyone care? No one's really seemed to here.
