Are international students supposed to receive the results later? I mean after domestic applicants?

Hi all, it's me again. So South Carolina's professor just sent me an email to set up a phone call next week. Did any of you experience through a phone call with graduate committee? What do I need to prepare and expect then? Thank you!

Just got my first offer from Colorado State. Nice to have one under my belt and I don't have to worry so much about rejections elsewhere.
Looks like Uni of Washington has started sending out interview requests. Fingers crossed for everyone here.
When did you apply for Colorado State? I did not receive any emails from them yet

@BL250604@Oliver Shu Thanks so much for your responses and support. However, I am still really unconfident and confused because some people told me that it will be hard for me to be accepted in Ph.D. programs without any publications or acknowledged research paper. I just did one research at school. Do I have any chance to be admitted to the Ph.D. program or should I apply to Master instead?

@Oliver Shu Hmm.. I don't think that I can get in MS programs at Harvard or Columbia as my undergraduate school is not prestigious but thank you for your support. Through the internship, I had a chance to use coding into analyzing data. However, I felt like I need something more theoretical to deal with data. That's why I decided to pursue a PhD degree with a concentration in computational statistics or machine learning. I don't know if that suits me or not but for now I am just nervous and hope that one school will accept me. Will see how it goes

Thank you so much for your response! I probably will consider Penn State and Minnesota. The only reason that I did not put Minnesota in the list is because their priority deadline is Dec 5, 2019 and I don't think I can make it. But they still consider application after the deadline right? They said the final deadline will be mid of March.
For Michigan, I looked at it requirements and this school seems to prefer Master's knowledge which I don't have.
For South Carolina, I wonder if you have any information for its funding. I read through its website and it said the funding may be up to 3 years of full time study. They do not guarantee any type of funding for PhD student though.
Good luck with your Dirichlet distribution and I am looking forward to your response!

Just a clarification: my undergraduate institution is ranked #1 in U.S. Regional North.
As the deadline is approaching, could someone please give me some comments? I really need help on this!!

Cumulative GPA: 3.81/4.00
Math major GPA: 3.96 | CS major GPA: 3.97
Type of Student: International Asian Female
Relevant Courses:
* Math:
- Calculus I,II,III (all A)
- Foundation of Higher math (A)
- Linear algebra (A)
- Abstract Algebra I,II (A-, A)
- Real Analysis (currently taking - got A for mid term grade)
- Probability & Statistics I (A)

Research Experience: I have one-year research with Math professor from school on Baseball analytics. We use statistical methods to create a new way to calculate Wins Above Replacement which demonstrates each player’s performance impact on the whole team.
I intend to do 2 research courses next semester: one in Healthcare Analytics and one in Topology (Math) but I don't know if I can state it in SOP.
Work Experience: Summer Internship at IGT - Business Intelligence Intern: I used SQL, Tableau, and analytical thinking to analyze company’s lottery data to create dashboards and reports.
Letter of Recommendation:
- One from my research professor
- One from my CS professor who has known me for 4 years. I took every class that I can with him.
- One from my Abstract Algebra professor who I took class with from freshman year.
Schools that I am considering:
Reach: Carnegie Mellon University (#8), Texas A&M College Station (#20)
Medium: UC Davis (#31), University of Texas Austin (#50), University of Virginia (#69), WPI (PhD in Data Science)
Safe: University of South Carolina (#74)
Please let me know if I have a chance to be admitted in any of those schools. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

Congratulations! I also received a phone call from one professor today. It was unexpected so I could not express all of my interest. Did you receive the offer right after the interview?
