I'm kind of regretting my decision to not apply to NC State (even though their major focuses in computational stats + biostats aren't my main research interests) simply because I would have probably heard something from them by now. Silence from 9 programs is disheartening. 

Haven't heard anything from NCSU yet... feeling desperate

[randata]

I also haven't really heard back from a lot of programs, but I'm thinking of it as being somewhat good news? Because silence isn't a "no"; you're still in the running, so to speak. I was rejected from some very competitive summer programs last year and the one where I had the highest chances took the longest to turn me down.

did anyone receive interview request from Yale? Seems like an international applicant got it

I could be wrong, but I’m a little doubtful about the acceptance on the Results page given that the entire school is shut down today due to the polar vortex.

I got my decision from UChicago today, I guess the school is no longer shut down

Was it an official decision? Still nothing for me...

Is there anyone who haven't heard anything from NCSU yet? I've heard there were some offers sent last Friday, but I still have nothing so far (no offer, no rej, no wl)

Not a thing, not even on the website. 

[pareto]

Anyone who got an interview or heard from UCLA?

[Geococcyx]

Assuming you mean statistics, there is that one result that said they got an interview invitation on Jan 31st.  I haven't heard anything from them, and I'm guessing enough people on the forums applied there that there would be more noise if anything was coming out in big waves, so I wouldn't worry too much.

No idea about biostatistics, albeit it looks like both degrees' results start coming out now or later.

Just got an email. Waitlisted (not ranked). 500+ applicants this year. 

[yuizu221]

waitlist from NCSU. Does anyone have idea about the chances of off-list?

[lazo]

My friend just reported an acceptance from Stanford. Looks like Stanford Stats is sending out acceptances right now. I didn't get any news, but Stanford was always a super long-shot for me, so I'm not too bummed about it. I'm really excited for him though!

@yuizu221  I mentioned it earlier in this thread, but there were at least 11 NCSU waitlistings reported last year without any notes of acceptances off of it (from what I recall).  However, there was at least one acceptance off of the waitlist in 2017 reported, with less gradcafe folks reporting waitlistings (5 or 6, if memory serves).  In general, I'd say not to get your hopes up, but it's not impossible for people to get off of the NCSU waitlist -- I'm just of the impression that due to their gigantic cohorts, their waitlist is correspondingly large as well, and given that NCSU is pretty good and doesn't get turned down by a ton of people, there's a pretty low chance that any particular person gets off the waitlist.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just want to ask, to those who got waitlist e-mail from NCSU, did the e-mail explicitly say that you guys are on the waitlist? I received an e-mail today telling my application is still on the review process. It further asked me if I would be interested in the MS degree option for PhD degree. I am not sure if this track guarantees the admission for the Ph.D. program. Is this something different from what other applicants received?

[orchidnora]

Congrats to all who got accepted to Stanford! I still haven't heard anything from them. 

However, I woke up to an email this morning from UC Berkeley! I've been accepted!! I'm beyond ecstatic, considering that Berkeley was my top choice school. 

[stlearn]

I got mail from ncsu that my application is still in review, but asked me if i am interested in PhD track Masters of Statistics (MR)

[Geococcyx]

@Statmaniac My NCSU waitlist email came a week or so ago, but it did explicitly say I was waitlisted.  Not sure what's up with the "still in review" e-mails.

Hello All,

I have applied to UIUC's statistics-analytics ms program on 3rd february.

Since I have already seen people posting results for the program, when can I except a decision on my application?

Thanks

Official rejection from stanford just now

Edited February 6, 2019 by blehperson

[orchidnora]

I was also rejected from Stanford just now. But I'm not surprised (given my less than impressive math subject test score), nor am I disappointed (given that Berkeley was my top pick anyway)

[MathStat]

I was waitlisted at Stanford, but did not receive anything from Berkeley.
