Did anyone apply to Ohio State (Columbus) for Stats?

[CHOCTICK]

What's up guys. I applied to OSU's masters program in statistics late January. Did anyone else? If so, share stats.

 

3.2ish gpa in BA (Mathematics)

730 Quant/530 Verbal/3.5

Iraq veteran; former highschool math teacher, mailman, data analyst for state government.

 

Did anyone else not include the official reference letter form with their application? I had it for 1 letter and it was missing for the other two. The lady I spoke with in the stat office said they can accept them at their discretion. At the online application site it says "No reference form" next to my recommenders' name. I did not get the form because I already had the letters on hand and it had been a while since I contacted the professors. I hope they(OSU stat dept) do not think less of me.

I can't speak for the masters program, but I already know that most (if not all) of the PhD decisions have already gone out.

 

In fact, the "info" day was just last week. However, I think it was for PhD students, and not masters students.

 

 

What does your app center say?

I applied to the PhD program in Statistics and it still says "In Review."

[OhioStateStudent]

My guess is that you are wait listed.

I was just there last weekend for the Graduate Information Day and there were both PhD and Master's students there. I would say that you are probably waitlisted if you haven't heard by now.

Hi Choctick,

I sent my rec letters via postal mail. Two were received, one was lost. Lisa contacted me asking for it - I asked my rec letter provider to re-send the letter via email and re-mail the form via postal mail. I also asked another person to do the same thing just in case. The next day my app showed "Letter received, waiting for form in postal mail" - somewhere along those lines.

 

And my guess would be the same as others, that you are waitlisted.

My status is still "In Review" - 3.2 gpa- Undergrad in physics. Its been in a review for about a month. Now the important question is, how do I get off of this waitlist!

[CHOCTICK]

Mine still says "In Review". My application did not go complete until late January 2013. I assume most of those people invited to the orientation week had their applications completed by Nov or early Dec.
