Muzili, persistent_homology,
I was told that they are still deciding on the funding opportunities. Didn't mention any date though. If any of you get any more details please post it here. Seems like OSU is my best bet now after all the rejections. Hope to hear good news from NCSU.

I just got a rejection from Minnesota too.
Muzili, what are your other options?
-
Also waiting to hear about fellowship.
Will you consider Minnesota over OSU?
I really consider Minnesota as a top choice, but received no results from there
It'll depend on the kind of funding available.
I am anxiously awaiting results from NCSU and Minnesota.

Hi,
Any OSU admits heard anything about the funding details?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I think your list is way too top heavy. In addition to the already high bar for international students, you are facing the problem that you are not attending what is regarded as the premier institution for statistics in India (i.e., the Indian Statistical Institute).
I suspect that places like Purdue, Cornell and UNC are your "reaches", and departments like Rice, Iowa, and UC-Davis are where you have more reasonable chances of admission.
Thanks a lot Cyberwulf. I agree with your remark about ISI. I hope having better grades from University of Mumbai can compensate, in some way if not totally, for this.
Also, when you say "Reaches", do you mean that i have a fair chance there and departments like Rice and Iowa should be my safe bet. Or should I go even lower??

Hi guys I known it is difficult evaluating international students, but would really appreciate your help.
I have the following list in mind:
Again, would really appreciate help.
Thanks..
