<p>Anyone heard from math departments? Particularly Stanford, Princeton, Illinois, MIT?</p>
<p>So far <a href="http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=math*%5B/url%5D">http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=math*</a> is the best way I've found to track when decisions go out from different schools. It appears that Illinois has already mailed out acceptances but none of the other schools you listed have yet.</p>
<p>I know people who got into Stanford, Princeton and MIT. Don't know any from Illinois though.</p>
<p>I know people who have gotten in to Princeton, Chicago, Stanford, MIT, Maryland, and people who have heard rejections from UCSD and UCLA. And FWIW, I've heard that MIT basically admits about 8 people, and offers to put a decent amount of people on their "waitlist" until mid-April, in case only practically nobody accepted ends up going there.</p>
<p>I believe MIT accepts about 24 students, presumably 12 for the pure math, 12 for the applied math. This is about the average of the top grad schools (compared to Harvard/princeton accepting 15~ students for pure math.)</p>
<p>[EDIT] it turns out that they take 16 for pure math, 8 for applied math.</p>
