What would you have done differently?
If I were to do ugrad all over, I would have minored in math and accounting, and gotten better grades in undergrad. Assuming my ugrad mistakes, in grad school, I would have taken Real Analysis.
Final call: I deferred NC State, GWU, American, and CUNY. I got tired of being a broker in NYC, and will start at American this coming January.

Admit summary statistics:
As submitted and recoreded from Test Magic:
There were 0 accepted out of 3 applicants.
From the Department webpage in 2010 (please send me a link if this is wrong!)
There is no single, sufficient condition for admission with financial aid. We look at a portfolio of items that include (not in any order): GRE scores (especially the Quantitative); transcripts; grades in math and economics courses; letters of recommendation; and the written statement of purpose. Each year, out of about 250- 300 applicants, we offer admission with funding to approximately 35 Ph.D. applicants and approximately 15 M.S. applicants.
