trynagetby Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hi all, might be a little early but might as well start this thread to share information/collectively freak out about the covid situation. Here's a link shared by a last year applicant detailing interview information. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1epem4r5loco8ZZwJNodjZun2JReXNXIm0RiTPBeiq6s/edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frequentist Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Based on previous trends, when do the first round of acceptances start to roll in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trynagetby Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Generally the earliest acceptances roll in starting the last week of January to the first half of February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayessays Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 For biostatistics, the very earliest decision usually come around now and all through January, some into early February. Most statistics programs are in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confusedbear Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Do schools typically ask for fall grades if you take real analysis? Ended up with a B+ and kinda hoping that they won't... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a B+ would be sufficient if they ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sackler or Department of Global Health one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingduck Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I think there's only the global health one that accepted applications through SOPHAS. I'm not sure about the Sackler one... @sassy2020 I don't see any results for NYU on the results section. Are you getting updates from a different source?

dandychiggins Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I applied to Sackler, not the one in SOPHAS, so I was just wondering which one has given out invites since I haven't received anything from them yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingduck Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 @dandychiggins I did see a few NYU Sackler and NYU medicine results - but for quant bio and some biorelated fields, but not biostats. They were notified on 12/21. I do need to get off this site for the next few months lest I go insane. Best of luck to your applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaBiostats Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hi, just saw people posting they are accepted by University of Minnesota. Should I assume rejection at this point if I have not received any email from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingduck Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 @AngelaBiostats i think some places have rolling interviews. take this from the nyu comments "We have begun sending invitations to interview and will continue to do so until the end of February. I hope that helps! We try to interview applicants with applicants of similar interest" so its probably department specific. @frequentist here i am back already. gonna get blacklist this website on my firewall lol frequentist and AngelaBiostats 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that someone got an interview invite for Harvard based on the results page... I still haven't heard anything from Harvard or Brown yet.
