I just graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in Computer Science and and Minor in Mathematics from University of Illinois at Springfield (UIS is an almost completely unknown school).
Right now I'm taking a year to transition into Math and show that I can handle the work at a decently ranked school (Colorado State University).
This summer I'm taking Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra (took at UIS and they didn't even cover groups, so I need to retake it), and Intro to Analysis to get the basics then this fall and spring I'll be taking the first year grad combinitorics, complex analysis, algebra (Dummit and Foote), analysis (Rudin), and GRE subject test prep courses.
So, I have two questions. First, is this enough to make myself stand out to top universities (provided I do well and get decent recommendations) or if not what else can I do? Second, what would you consider top universities in Math (possibly in Algebra)? Right now the schools I have on my list are UC-Berkeley, UMN - Twin Cities, , UW-Madison, UM - Ann Arbor, and maybe one of the Ivies like Princeton or Harvard.
