Grad School

Good day, /sci/. Judging by the people who frequent here, I think this is as good a place as any to ask.

How difficult is it to get into grad school? I want to study mathematics, preferably at Purdue. To that end, I'm double majoring (math and stats) and have decent grades (3.8). I'm also involved in extra-curricular activities.

What, if anything, am I missing? I'm currently a 3rd year student, so I have time to implement recommendations if you have any.

I concur. While my (undergrad) sciences friends can spend their summers assisting experiments, reviewing papers or even undergoing a little research, there's not a huge amount a mathematician can do.
I've decided an summer placement with a software company is a good choice; I'll make a bit of money and get an idea of what the industry is really like even though I'm still aiming for PhD.
