Hi all, Does anyone have any experience to share about the the UCSB stats department? It seems like it is more finance/actuary focused - would this not be a good fit for someone looking to get into machine learning/data science? Also, it looks like a good a program and the admission averages that they publish seem fairly selective, but it is low on the US News ranking for statistics. Any input would be appreciated - thank you!

maybe there is still hope for those of us who have not heard anything yet? (if all decisions were made, why would they hold rejections?)

Hi all, I've been anxiously lurking and checking my email 20 times a day, waiting for anything from schools. Today I received my first correspondence from one and invite to recruitment and visit day for my department, but I need help interpreting it .... is this an admit or do I need to keep waiting? Although MA offers have not officially been sent out yet, we are pleased to inform you that you are high on the list of potential admits. Thanks!
