I think you have a relatively good chance at Purdue, a 50/50 at UCSD, and the rest might require a miracle. It's all due to your Math GRE, as well as your zero-publication record. Congrats on your recent admit at RPI!

As for lack of publications, this is probably the weakest part of my application. My only research experience came before I decided to apply to graduate school, so I did not push to get anything published.

It won't make anybody's eyes light up but it won't keep you out and furthermore it validates your high GPA. Having no publications is also ok. It'll all hinge on your letters of rec and if you match well with what professors are looking for in terms of research so nobody here can accurately gauge your chances.

My interests are in scientific computing and numerical methods if that helps to gauge my chances of admission. I didn't list anything more specific than these in my applications or contact any professors about the possibility of working with them.

Congrats! You are doing great so far! So much for the "crapshot" predictions.

Awesome! How about RPI's financial package? Also, any news from MIT/Princeton/NYU/Caltech/Maryland/UCSD yet?

No news on RPI's financial package yet. They said in an email that I should expect a letter in the post with details, but I'm still waiting for that.
Haven't heard back from any reach schools other than UCLA yet, but from what I can tell none but UCLA have released their decisions for applied math. Judging from gradcafe, it looks like I should expect to hear back early in February for most of those schools.
