Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could speak about the social life as a graduate student at Yale. I am currently split between Michigan Ann Arbor and Yale. I studied as an undergrad exchange student at Ann Arbor and I absolutely loved it and it seems that nothing beats it. Even my Biostats dept. at Michigan is larger and people are friendly and graduate students seem sociable. (I am at a point where I want to find a serious partner so the opportunities to meet people are important) Where as for New Haven, I have been told and I observe that it is not like Ann Arbor. What is the social life like at Yale? My mental health is an extremely important factor that will contribute to the success of grad school.

UToronto already replied to me that they had sent out all PhD and PhD Direct Entry offers.

Lafferty just moved to Yale last November. K...I am definitely heading to Yale then hahaha!

Welcome to the month of MARCH everyone!! More anxious waiting... And meanwhile, I have two midterms this evening and Friday evening...and around 600 midterms (Multivariate Calculus II and Introductory Statistics) to grade over the weekend HAHAHA. Can't wait to hear more good news from y'all.

I applied for MS and I received the receipt email today and I was like WHAT??? Lol...

OMGGGG CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!! By the way, it seems that they are sending out early acceptance this year! P.s. Also for Michigan, one person got an offer this past Monday but he was the only one, and then myself and the rest received our offers on Wednesday.

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

Got an offer for UMich Biostat MS! Yes!! I had been worrying lmao... Go Blue!

Congrats! I will reason that I either got waitlisted or rejected haha.

Another week is about to begin! Good luck to everyone!!! I have a reading week this week haha, gonna be pretty long for me xD

That's probably rolling admission then.

Sorry to hear that man! Yeah good luck with Vanderbilt!!

I am pretty sure it is the same.

I got a phone call from a faculty member on February 3rd, 2018. Thanks for the suggestion man!

Also, I am hoping to email the UMich Biostats Prof who called me two weeks ago, and ask him about my application status for MS Biostats... Does anyone have any suggestion whether or not this is appropriate?

Sorry to hear that dude! Hope you'll do well with Purdue interview! Good luck!

Mine is still under review. :/ Whatever...I plan to go to Yale for my MA anyways. Hahaha.

Good luck dude!! Be sure to update us!!

Did you apply to Michigan too buddy? Did they ever give you a phone call discussing about your profile etc? I don't know if I should feel unfair...but like I already have three strong recommendations from University of Toronto and Statistics Canada, and they still want a fourth one from their home university...

I've been seeing a few Biostats MS from Michigan, which makes me anxious. One of the faculty who was reviewing my profile previously called and said that they were positive with everything and wanted me to give them a Michigan reference who taught me last semester. I am wondering if I should email him back to check up on my status or if I should wait? I know the decisions will probably come out in two weeks...just hate the waiting game.

Anyone heard anything back from Toronto, UBC, or McGill? I saw like two postings from Toronto. It's strange.

I was a Fulbright Canada fellow at Michigan last semester and fell in love with Ann Arbor. I just haven't had enough hahaha. Plus both of its biostats and stats program are outstanding! But now that I got into Yale...I guess I am dragged away to Yale ...
