PittPanther13 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Posted January 15, 2013 I caved and emailed the department directly, I think my last threads of sanity were starting to fray.
sisyphus1 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 applied to biostat: brown, jhu, wash, harvard stat: cmu, upenn, duke, yale international applicant. havent heard from any. getting nervous
Statsfrommaths Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) That was me in U Penn. Don't worry too much yet, I talked to them and they haven't contacted everyone they're taking either (not even all the first round people). Also, these are early days, some people are bound to reject a lot of their offers and the position will go to people on the waitlist.EDIT: Also, as far as I can tell, Bio and Statistics are (mostly) unrelated in most schools as to when they send offers.

Biostat_Assistant_Prof Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Hey everybody, chill out, 2 posts on the results page hardly means your chances have been completely shot! Look at the results from last year, admission decisions started about this time and were steadily reported through the end of February.... Relax!

Also, these are early days, some people are bound to reject a lot of their offers and the position will go to people on the waitlist. That's (somewhat) reassuring. Looked at your profile--not surprised that you got in . Â What do they mean though by "first round people"?
applyin&prayin Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 hi statsfrommath, did u apply to the wharton program? or a different stats program at upenn? i wasn't sure from ur result. thanks a lot for updating us!
Statsfrommaths Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 applyin&prayin, I applied to the Wharton program. And no problem!sisyphus, I appreciate your compliments! By "first round" I guess they just mean people they're giving an offer to without any further queries. I wasn't sure exactly, I think they have a list of people they've definitely decided to offer a place to (and they haven't even contacted all the people on this list yet), they also have a few that they will either offer a place to or waitlist, but haven't gotten around to sorting that yet. And then they have more people who are waitlisted.
applyin&prayin Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 statsformath, hate to keep badgering u lol but did u call them and speak to them over the phone about this? thanks for all the info
Statsfrommaths Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 No problem.I was emailed, and they said they'd like to call me. Organised a time and then they called.

I might just email them directly and ask them to end this torture. I think I drained 20% of my phone battery checking my email in the last 10 minutes. Harvard I'm not too hurt by if I don't get in, but Washington would cause me to drag my feet for a few days. did you hear back? more Uwashington acceptances...
Biostat_Assistant_Prof Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I applied for PhD Biostats and have heard nothing from UW yet.Â
PittPanther13 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 I didn't hear anything back from the email, I'm hoping maybe tomorrow? I emailed alexam@u.washington.edu so I'm hoping that was the correct person to email. I also said that I needed to know soon for purposes of renewing an apartment lease (not entirely a lie). So hopefully my questions are answered tomorrow. I didn't realize more Washington PhD results went up, that's... disappointing...
PittPanther13 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 More results in... not feeling too hot about my prospects at Washington anymore.
shrimprotein Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 applied to biostat: brown, jhu, wash, harvard stat: cmu, upenn, duke, yale international applicant. havent heard from any. getting nervous Don't worry if you haven't heard back from Harvard yet - they take a much longer time to admit international students due to funding (this is for the PhD program, not sure about the MS). Check back late March/early April if you haven't heard from them by then

cyberwulf Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I guess us domestic students are out of luck tho... Â Not necessarily. Harvard typically admits a 'first wave' of rockstars and then opens up slots as people turn them down (yes, it happens...). But we're probably talking second week of April here.
OhioStateStudent Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Cw, should I be worried that some people have gotten admits from northwestern but I have yet to hear anything?
PittPanther13 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 CyberWulf, similar question for those who haven't heard anything from Washington yet? Do they do a similar first round of rock stars and then send out later decisions based on those students decisions to enroll?

PittPanther13 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Now there's rejections, wait lists, and acceptances going out on the same day. And ive still heard nothing. Anyone else in the same boat?
cyberwulf Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 On 1/16/2013 at 11:54 AM, sisyphus1 said: just got waitlisted from UWashington Huh, I've never heard of UW officially waitlisting people before. It appears they're planning on admitting a lot of students this year, so I suppose a waitlist makes sense.
PittPanther13 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Reeeeeejected. Stupid email went to my spam folder
