Stayed off of this forum for the past month while I waited to hear back from schools. Now that I've heard from most of my top schools, here are my acceptances (for Stats PhD): UNC Chapel Hill, Rutgers, UCLA, and UPenn Wharton.
Now comes the hard part--the decision. Completely torn between UNC, UCLA, and Wharton, though I'll be visiting each of these schools over the next month, so hopefully that'll help to get a better feel. If anyone here got accepted to any of these schools, please feel free to reach out and message me; I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts on their decision process and learn more about the potential cohorts.

@danny1997 I applied to Rutgers shortly after the New Year and heard back on Feb 6 (acceptance and funding letter). I actually also talked to the Grad Director on the phone, who said it was definitely a competitive year but I'm not too sure of the specific numbers or whether they're still making admissions. Their visit date is during the first full week of March. Will update if I find out more info.
@WilliamWantPhD That was my initial reaction too, but I'm still looking forward to my visits to help determine my comfort level in each department. If anyone else has comments on the Wharton department, I'd appreciate it. I seem to have the least insight into that program, being that it's in the business school (wondering if/how that affects the stat department in terms of research, industry placements, connections, etc). But having been interested in business/financial applications of stats, that certainly seems to be an intriguing perk.
