<p>“I’m disregarding Michigan, because Michigan is ridiculously easy to get into. Looking at the stats for graduate school matriculation, which are on Peter May’s VIGRE page, you’ll see that this isn’t nearly close to the truth. We usually have about 2 people going to MIT, Princeton, or Harvard, and about 2-3 people going off to Stanford, Berkeley, or Courant”</p>
<p>But acceptance and matriculation are different. Top schools admit far more than are in their freshman classes, especially at public schools like Berkeley and Michigan. Of course, it will be almost impossible to get into Princeton with a 3.7, but I really don’t think Courant, Berkeley, Stanford, Columbia are out of reach. This is especially true for math majors going into stats or economics. </p>
<p>I have no idea about how professional schools work.</p>
