  1. Cyentist, just saw your post. Had the visit back in mid February and was offered admission about a week later. Look in forward to starting in the Fall! Glad to hear there'll be another ISUer around!
  2. I suspect it's either the middle case or worst case scenario you described. Any thoughts on the types of questions they might ask? Should I prepare for technical questions? Or more along the lines of "Why do want a MS in biostats?", "Tell us about your past experiences", "Why would you be successful in our program?", etc.
  3. I posted in the Math/Stats forum also but I thought might get some more general input here. I graduated Spring 2012 from undergrad with BS degrees in statistics and psychology from Iowa State. After graduation I was hired by the Univ of Iowa psychiatry department as a data analyst. Basically I've been doing database management and statistical analyses for NIH/NIMH funded projects for the last year and a half. My whole goal when I first came to the U of Iowa was to get into the biostats program. So I applied in December for Fall 2014. I didn't do so hot on my GRE and basically thought I had no chance, especially after somebody posted an acceptance on the results page on Jan 17th. However, on the 29th I received an email invitation to, "meet with members of the Admissions Committee." I assume this is a good sign, especially with somebody posting a rejection on the same day? Or is this kind of a "courtesy" visit since I'm an employee at the University? Any thoughts/comments/suggestions on what to expect?

  5. Has anybody heard from University of Iowa biostatistics? I see on the results page there is one MS acceptance still waiting on funding. http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=iowa+biostatistics&t=a&o= I applied to the MS biostatistics program at Iowa. Should I assume I didn't get in if I haven't heard anything yet?
