updog99 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Anyone who got accepted to Columbia's MS Biostatistics program attending the open house this weekend?
theduckster Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) Didn't get accepted by UChicago for an MS, which is totally fair. But not even being waitlisted despite having As in Real Analysis and Measure Theory, as well as some research experience? Also not shocking, but gotta say that stung a little. Could it be because I only have one statistics class (Probability Theory)? Blarg. Life goes on.  Edited February 28, 2019 by theduckster Bayequentist and Statboy 2

theduckster Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 @Bayequentist I'm a pretty unconventional applicant so perhaps my previous post was only 90% honest. With regards to your comment, my heart says PhD but my brain says Master's. Maybe next time!Â
jwlim07 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Is there anyone who got no result from UChicago PhD program yet? I feel pretty bumped cause there have been pretty much acceptances and rejections on the results page, but no a single email to me until now.  blehperson 1
yukichi Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Has anyone received responses from Columbia's PhD program or Colorado State's? I'm beginning to wonder if maybe CSU has rolling admissions - I submitted in October of last year and have heard nothing since.Â
Geococcyx Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) It appears that there are Columbia Ph.D. acceptances listed on the results page, and at least one is from a domestic student (sometimes I think the international acceptances go out first, presumably for help accelerating paperwork), so I'm just assuming a rejection at this point.  Edited February 28, 2019 by Geococcyx

I checked Chicago's website (FAQ) and it explicitly says that they batch the applications and send out results (acceptances, rejections, waitlist) as soon as they review them, so if you haven't heard back it means they haven't reviewed your "batch" yet. I mean, I want to believe them, but I can't help but think otherwise... And as for Columbia, I emailed the department today asking about my status. The struggle is REAL. Geococcyx and yukichi 2
danny1997 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Will there be another Ohio State or Wisconsin round of PhD admissions or should I assume rejection? I have heard nothing from either program.
data_scrub Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Update from my last post - just heard from Purdue. Accepted with half time assistantship, should be an interesting offer. Good luck to anyone still waiting! Geococcyx and yukichi 2
ducky500 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Anybody hear nothing from Chicago MS statistics as well? DataAnalyst 1
Bayequentist Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 We're seeing mass rejections from top schools lol. Makes me nervous.

Not a single contact or email since I applied to any of these programs, even though most have already sent out acceptances and rejections. I wonder why all of these programs are keeping me in the dark. I'm ready to be done with the waiting forever. yukichi 1
danny1997 Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Ohio State is starting to reject students, update was on the website not via email yet

updog99 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Has anyone heard from Berkeley's Biostats MA program?Â
DataAnalyst Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Did any hear from Georgia State University today? Â
StuartLittle Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Did anyone hear from UCLA's Biostats PhD program? They seem to be very quiet this year and not many international students reported the results either... Â
fireuponthedeep Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Did anybody get a weird email from UNC today? I reached out a few weeks ago about my MS Biostatistics application, and they responded with Hi [me], I am sure you have been notified of your admission! Congratulations! So that seems like an admit? But also that was all it said, the application hadn't changed on their website, and I haven't heard anything else from them lmao. It doesn't really matter since I'm going to UofMN, but it would feel good to know I got admitted to UNC too lol. Â
updog99 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I reached out to UC Berkeley via email, and received a notification to check my portal about 30 minutes later. As I expected, a rejection :(.Â

If the cost wasn't so prohibitive I'd love to go, but still nice to be admitted! Best of luck to everyone else waiting on admissions decisions! whiterabbit 1

One day I'll compare unless someone has done the math I think UNCs honestly not too bad compared to those schools (especially Harvard/JHU/berkeley once cost of living is factored in), out of state is 15k a semester for UNC, far higher at the other places. I receive in state tuition to UMN, so it will be nearly half as much to get my MS, which is a no brainer to me. And that's assuming I don't get a graduate assistantship lol. Plus I'll be closer to my family and my dogs need cold weather! If the costs were closer I'd definitely consider UNC, but regardless I'm sure happy to get an admit! Taheel 1
