Hi everyone -- I'm heading to Cornell too!
I'm definitely a little concerned about hunting for housing long distance. Is anyone going to Ithaca to check out places in person?
did you apply for on campus accommodation? I also have difficulties hunting for houses too long distance. What places are you looking at?
-
I have an offer from Cornell, which includes a $24k TAship for the school year, with possible summer support but not guaranteed. I don't know how much the summer would be if I get it. I don't drive, would hope to live alone (studio okay if it has a full kitchen, 1 bedroom preferred), and would be fine with busing or walking to campus as long as it's reasonably good bus service or not too long of a walk. I would also have expensive international flights home for the holidays, at around $1200 or more. Is this doable on the TAship income? Are the graduate residences a bad idea for a first year international student? It looks like not a great location for shopping or getting to campus.
Also, how close to the centre of campus (near the math department..) do the buses go?
Hey I'm visiting Cornell early next month to figure out the answers to some of your questions. But here's the info concerning summer support:

I think I'll probably stay at the graduate housing if I attend Cornell. They look pretty good.
Stop complaining about your $1200 flight ticket. A return trip from Sydney to Ithaca costs me about $2000...

Looks like Yale came out today. No good news for me haha. Brand name universities...
Nah Yale stats department is too small, you don't want to go there anyways
Why didn't you apply to places like NC state and Cornell?
-
Anyone know when Michigan and/or Yale statistics decisions are supposed to roll out? Last year, they seemed to have rolled out what would have been last week.
No idea... I am waiting as well...
So far I've only seen one Berkeley Stats acceptance, what's going on there??
-
CMU is out. No dice for me. Good luck to everyone else!
Same here
-
Anyone know anything about Berkeley statistics??..
-
I saw one Berkeley acceptance
.. it's my top choice.... -
I see a Stanford result out... anyone know anything?
It was a personalised email, so there's still a chance. good luck
-
I hope so. Last year it was Feb 5th
-
no I didnt get an interview. I heard they'd admit pretty much all interviewed.
I am an international so not sure when I'll get a response from them, if not a straight rejection..
-
What about harvard biostats? Anyone went to their "open house"?
-
Anyone know when Harvard Biostats will start processing international applications? Interview invites have been sent to domestic students, and internationals appeared to be on a different schedule in previous years....
-
Haha cheer up mate! where else have you applied to?
-
Yup I think that was it… I didn't get the email either, let's hope for the best tho.
-
Congrats WeezyF! great news
-
Oh well… I just really wanted an acceptance asap so I can go back to living life.
-
yea and it seems like UW had only one round of offers last year...
this forum's been pretty quiet this year hey
-
Not necessarily CommonerCoffee. I came across this post
In previous years, Harvard invited a batch of applicants to their recruiting event (which has already happened this year), and then made some very late offers (to people who were not invited) in the first two weeks of April. So, not getting an invite to the recruiting event doesn't necessarily mean you've been rejected; you could just be on the waitlist.

Great news jd24! Interview invitation from harvard sounds promising. I applied to harvard biostats too, but not too sure when they will start processing international applications. all the best with the interview and let us know how it goes.
-
Same here hey.
Washington Stats should be out pretty soon I reckon. The first acceptance last year was on the 17th... I am too getting a bit anxious.
-
Congrats CommonerCoffee, great news!
-
Has anyone got admitted to duke stats PhD? I saw one acceptance from the results search.
-
Hey I didn't get an email from Harvard probably cuz I am an international (or just simply not good enough for them). I know that internationals are on a different schedule.that's the only biostats program I've applied tho the rest is all stats
-
CommonerCoffee good luck!

Yea I was assigned a room on campus, but I don't think I want to live there. It's far from school and pretty isolated. I started looking for places too. Maybe we can we can navigate through these murky waters together.
