Hello JSM_InspiredMe,
This post from two years ago has some discussion of waitlist experiences that might be helpful. Good luck! -
MLHopeful, I was accepted to Columbia as well. I agree that it seemed odd that there was no mention of a visit day. I just sent an email asking about it.
-
I haven't heard anything from Berkeley either.
-
Congratulations MLHopeful!

Thanks footballman2399. Best of luck to you as well! 17 applications could mean a lot of travel for visit days.

Congratulations, footballman2399!

Just decided to check the Harvard admissions portal on a whim. Turns out they updated my status yesterday. I've been wait-listed. There was a pdf copy of a letter dated February 3rd. I think official letters have been mailed out. Good luck everyone!
Note: This is for statistics. -
Sorry to hear, CommonerCoffee, dynamic89, and Anakin. Does this mean they are coming out as we speak? I'm nervously refreshing my inbox every few seconds.

I just found out I have been admitted to Washington PhD in stats too! Turns out the auto-forward on my email was caught up for a couple hours.

Congratulations WeezyF!
Stats/Biostats Profile Evaluation
in Mathematics and Statistics

Your list of schools is reasonable for your profile.
When you apply to Carnegie Mellon joint statistics/machine learning, you can apply through the statistics department or the machine learning department. If you apply through the statistics department, you have the option of checking a box which allows you to be considered for both statistics and joint statistics/machine learning (I think it costs ~10 extra dollars application fee to check this box). I think you have a similar option of being considered for solely the machine learning department if you apply through the computer science application portal.
