hkkei123 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Hi, I had applied statistics PhD program in U of Chicago, U of Michigan(Ann Arbor), and Columbia University. All these schools have been sending out ad/rej this month; however, I haven't heard from any of them. What does it mean? Am I getting rejections without notices? I am really worried right now. Should I email the depts for results?
Xero735 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Chances are if you haven't heard by now you should assume its a big fat no. However, I have heard stories where people got in the last minute. Just plan accordingly.
hkkei123 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Thank you for your reply! I am thinking to apply some master programs, but a lot of them had already passed the deadline. Should I email the dept to see if they still accept applications?
Xero735 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Yes ask them, they may be open to it. Also, more importantly, ask if they still have funding if you are not self funded.
illu Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Are you sure? I don't think Chicago sent any rejections yet. Edited March 24, 2011 by illu
hkkei123 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 I really don't know if Chicago is still considering my application. I checked the last year results. It seems like that Chicago doesn't really reject anyone until the very last minute.

stansfield Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 at this point its very unlikely chicago is aiming for 7-8 and I know 2 who got them early feb.
theflyingmufin Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 You may already be checking this, but some schools show your admission status when you log into your online app. This could be worth a check.

mandehling Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) I am still waiting for Umich as well. I called Umich last week, the secratary said more decision will be made in few weeks. But it is already the end of March! Hi, I had applied statistics PhD program in U of Chicago, U of Michigan(Ann Arbor), and Columbia University.
