[physics2stats]

Anyone have any insight on the process at UNC Stats PhD? Do they typically admit in multiple batches?

has anyone else not gotten any news yet? ? feeling a bit discouraged

Are you mostly applying to statistics programs? Biostat programs get back early but often statistics admissions really start going out now at the earliest and til the end of February is really the peak period.

Yeah, statistics programs only. Is it just me or it's taking longer this year than in the past..?

It seems like some schools (UW, Berkeley, Stanford) are ahead of schedule while others (Duke, etc.) are running behind. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Yeah, I guess that's true. I was thinking of NC State as well, since in the past it seems like they had released even rejections by now.

NC State rejected me awhile back, looks like a few people got results there too. I would guess no response there now will end up WL or acceptance

I didn't know that they had sent out some rejections. Thanks for sharing. I hope you get into a program you want to go to!

A handful of acceptances as well. Best of luck to you, too!

Looking at results over previous years, it does seem to me that many of the programs I applied to (like TAMU and UIUC) normally would have sent out several acceptances by now. Perhaps some programs are somewhat behind schedule this year.

I heard from UIUC today, so I imagine some more people will hear from this school in the coming days.

No, I haven't heard anything

Did you have an interview? I haven't heard anything since I applied.

No.

[BioStatKid]

Has any one else heard from Brown? I saw the acceptance on the survey site and I am very anxious. 

[AF_Stats]

Quite a few UW stat masters seem to have dropped. . . I wonder if this is bad news for PhD applicants still in limbo.

Rejected from Berkeley this morning. Oh well...

Same here. I get a mini heart attack whenever I check the survey site ? becoming less optimistic everyday.
Wonder if you're an international student?

[frequentist]

Just got an unofficial acceptance from NC State in an email from Graduate program director. Finally some relief!

Congrats! Can you tell me brief profile? Like international vs American, when did you apply?

[skibayes]

Anyone know if admissions decisions from Wisconsin-Madison are fully out? Saw 5 acceptance posts on this site, but I haven't heard anything from the program, wondering if I should assume rejection..

I am an international student. 4.0 GPA, 168Q/158V, a year of real analysis including measure theory, a year of measure theoretic probability, couple of papers in pure mathematics lined up for publication, but undergrad from virtually unknown school in the US.

Thanks for the input. Do you remember when you applied?
