J456 Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Any idea whether UNC Chapel Hill/Minnesota (Statistics) systematically released their (first round of) offers? I see a couple of acceptances on grad cafe, but nothing like a wave of acceptances/rejections etc. ? Edited February 13, 2020 by J456

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?
Jdriii Posted February 13, 2020 Posted February 13, 2020 Still haven't heard anything to NC State. Does anyone know if they're still sending them out?

There's a visit day in about a week, so I imagine after that they might get more final responses from students and maybe send out more acceptances if they have any open spots left. From what I can tell, their department doesn't really tend to send out rejections until late March/early April. Hope that helps. (And sorry about the decision purgatory you might be in at the moment. Not fun.)

I was hoping to get at least an offer around the Minnesota-UNC STOR range, but I guess competition is just too tight for students from South Asia, and I'm not from a reputable Stats school from India or China. Let's see how it goes.

icantdoalgebra Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Does anybody know anything about CMU's visit day? I haven't heard anything from them yet other than the decision.
tundramonkey Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Has anyone heard from Colorado State or Oregon State for M.S?

I think Colorado St admits everyone into the same program (then you qualify for the PhD program later if that's what you want). I heard back from them in late January.
zscki Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Does anyone have the link to the 2019 applicant thread? Thanks. Edited February 15, 2020 by zscki
balr41 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Waitlisted to Harvard biostat today. Not very hopeful but does anybody ever get accepted from it?
likewater Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 @balr41 I recall seeing somebody getting off the waitlist last year, but yeah it's by no means a sure thing. Much better than a rejection though!
DanielWarlock Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Anybody hears back from Columbia? Looks like I was waitlisted by Michigan! A little nervous.

DanielWarlock Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Just now, J456 said: Yes, I saw that. I wasn't sure what not being informed meant. Effectively wait listed or denied. I mean, if 10+ people report here, then you know offers are all out and is almost surely in higher number than what they expect to enrol. For example, I can see Duke sent 30+ people offers from the emailing list. I personally would take it as "denied" but you can have your personal interpretation as well.
IdoMath Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I've received an offer from IUPUI (biostat) with guaranteed funding for up to 5 years. They have a tight deadline of 28th Feb, though. Any ideas about their department?

This is their first wave of acceptances. Usually, top students have gotten into multiple places and will be inclined to accept (or at a minimum, turn down offers elsewhere). Michigan is trying to get a feel for how many more acceptances they can extend. Formal waitlists won't come for another month or so from Michigan, and acceptances can be sent out until early April, from my experience last year. You should still have hope! bayessays 1

Because that would be violating the April 15 Resolution which Indiana University is a part of. I'm not familiar with the department, but talking to students and alumni should give you a better idea of what it's like there. bayessays 1
bayessays Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Agreed, an exploding offer before April 15th is a giant red flag.
go_stats_or_go_home Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 @icantdoalgebra CMU visit day is March 17 this year, with more information supposedly coming tomorrow.
