http://thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?DT=A&PL=math Just look at how many people NYU has admitted without funding. Check that against how many are going to go, with their own funding, and then apply for the spots available with funding. I don't know, sounds kind of scary, and expensive. Your call though. NYU is a top program, but there are many outstanding programs in the top 20 field, and it seems that the top 30 programs can land someone a research professorship if the student yields strong research. I've read about a Berkeley PhD not finding a decent job, and if you check MIT's faculty page you can see a Univ. of New Mexico PhD on a tenure track there, and UT Austin has a Univ. of Nebraska Lincoln and a Univ. of Kansas PhD on board. Although it does seem the stronger programs do produce more research professors on average.
