I don't know anything about Tallahassee but Boulder is an incredibly liberal town. And absolutely beautiful. It's kind of pricey to live in Boulder but if they offered my major that would've easily been my number one choice. 

Yes, they said the admissions offfice must have been backed up. So they sent a signed letter on official letterhead promising me the funding. Ironically, I have now decided to take my other offer anyway... I am going to seem crazy to this department now after hounding them all week but it just didn’t feel right. This has been such a crazy experience. Glad to be done. Thanks for everyone’s advice!!

I was waitlisted for funding at one of my top choices and just funded there!!!  I paid for a trip to visit the school myself and told the director while I was there that this is my top choice but I have to make a decision about my other funded offers by April 15th.  Shortly after getting home from the airport, I received an email with a funding offer.  I definitely think visiting and showing that I really wanted to go there helped my chances.  Best of luck to everyone still waiting!!

Got funded by the top choice!!!! Thank you both for your replies and best of luck to you!

I can't speak for ME but for stats it seems that they keep an "unofficial" waiting list.  Several rounds of acceptances and rejections have already gone out and yet several people still haven't heard anything.  It seems like that could be what is what is going on in your department too... So not hearing anything probably means you still have a chance! 

@BStat I am still waiting on Michigan phd results as well...

Rejected from Columbia. Went from a strong start to a disappointing finish, maybe being an international was more of a detriment than I expected. Also seems like not taking the subject GRE was a mistake. Oh well, ultimately happy with my outcome, and glad I never have to go through this process again lol.

@NumStats  It's definitely nerve wracking . I got my first acceptance yesterday after three rejections (HUGE sigh of relief!). You still have a lot of schools to go! All it takes is one.

OMG I totally get what you mean. But sometimes I was thinking that..."wait only one school approves of my experience and background?" Haha
I was kinda regretting for not applying to CMU but then I heard that it's pretty applied and I am glad that I got an offer from Yale, most of the professors from which have backgrounds and research experience in Bayesian statistics. If I go there, at least I won't have much arguments with them...XD
