  1. I think you have a good shot at the schools you listed. The only downside I see to your application is the lack of a mathematical linear algebra class.
  2. Your GPA is definitely on the lower end for Columbia, Yale, UW, and UMich, but your research experience and coursework are on par. In general, I would recommend applying to many programs (provided you are interested in the research there). The T20 Statistics PhD programs are incredibly competitive nowadays and accept 5-10% of applicants.
  3. Any idea why reviews won't be available until April 17? Is it usually the case that results come out before reviews?
  4. As someone who applied this cycle, I would encourage you to take as much math (specifically analysis) as possible. I think that, in general, applicants to Statistics PhD programs are coming in with more and more math background every year. Since the GRE/Math GRE are being phased out of admissions, the only way the committee can assess your math background is via your previous coursework. In fact, one of the professors on the admissions committee of a school to which I was admitted told me that every year, they are looking to admit students with stronger and stronger math backgrounds. And admissions aside, taking more analysis will ease the transition from undergrad to PhD.
  5. I have not. I know that they have sent out some interview invites, although it is unclear whether they interview all applicants or only international ones.
  6. @thermoflask101 To my understanding, if you have not already received a decision then you are on an unofficial waitlist. I am in the same boat–no decision yet.
  7. @coughcoughcoffee NSF plans to give (up to) 250 more awards this year. The solicitation from last year said 2,500 awards, and this one states 2,750.
  8. Don't mean to be pessimistic, but it looks like the funding rate last year was around 1-2%. So even if you make it to the DoD panel, only one in thirty of those individuals will actually receive the fellowship. ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoD_NDSEG_Fellowship
  9. It would be so funny if these edits meant absolutely nothing. Still nothing for me since Nov 23.
  10. Is everyone still at the stage "Subject Matter Experts Panel Review"?
  11. @manifestinggoodvibes My last edits were on Nov. 23. Wow–that would be sad if I were out of the running already.
  12. Still no update for me... AFOSR Computer Science. Maybe the order in which applications are reviewed is dependent upon subject area, not branch?
  13. To be clear, I am 100% certain that I submitted the application with all required materials.
  14. Hi all! I received the following email this morning from NDSEG, although I submitted my application a few days before the deadline. Did anyone else get this?
