BoundByAxioms Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Has anyone heard from Colorado State University? I emailed the chair of the department more than 2 weeks ago, and said that I could expect to hear back from them in 2 weeks, and I've still not heard anything. Has anyone else tried to contact the department? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhskier029 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm also waiting to hear from Colorado State. Hopefully we will hear something soon because I have to decisions for other schools. Have you called the department lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoundByAxioms Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm also waiting to hear from Colorado State. Hopefully we will hear something soon because I have to decisions for other schools. Have you called the department lately? I emailed the assistant chair, and he said that I was accepted but that I was not on the first list for funding. I'm pretty disappointed, I was really excited about CSU. I emailed him to ask what the shortcomings in my application where, and he said, very emphatically, that I didn't have any shortcomings, but rather that the state budget had shortcomings. This made me feel better, knowing that I would have likely gotten funding if we were in better economic times. I thought my application was pretty strong: 770Q, 530V, 5.0AW, 3.75 GPA (magna cum laude), math/bio double major, 2 summers of research in molecular bio and bioinformatics, and good letters of reference. I have a special interest in applications of statistics to biology, yada yada yada, and CSU would be a great fit for me. He said that anything could happen within the next couple of weeks, and that I should stay in contact, as funding could become available. I think that they will send out admission offers sometime early next week, after the April 1st deadline for applying without funding. Anyhow, good luck to you, and I hope you get in and get funded!

rhskier029 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Sounds like you have a very strong resume. I e-mailed the department today so I hope I can find something out soon. It looks like a great school but it sounds like the competitions is pretty tough this year. Thanks for your help and hopefully some people turn down offers so you can get some funding!
