I think I just didn't apply to enough schools.
I was rejected by Duke, Cornell, JHU, and accepted to UVA (no funding) and Arizona. I didn't go to AZ because I didn't want to start the semester just before my wife has a baby (our first, the pic is of my nephew).
Really, I must admit that I feel my University is partially to blame. Flame away, but small schools don't command much respect in the realm of competitive applicants. A friend of mine recently completed a masters at the same institution, has a thesis in algebraic topology, great grades, etc. He was rejected by every school for a math PhD (many state schools and safeties). He is now trying the back door at UW.....very sad.
