Just got a rejection from Princeton's ORFE.

 

Not too disappointed with the result itself since it's expected given my non-Ivy-league background alone. On the other hand, I'm disappointed that I even applied there, as Princeton is one of two places that refused to waive my application fee. I could really use an extra hundred or so dollars right now..

Just got a rejection from Brown, and an acceptance from SUNY Stony Brook with funding! I'm very excited as I now have the opportunity to live in New York!

Just got an acceptance from Michigan Biostats! It was a really nice phone call from one of the professors there. I'm looking forward to attending their open house.

Stony Brook is pretty far from NYC

Congrats CauchyProcess!  Both the math and applied math depts at SUNY are well-regarded and have strong reputations (around top 20ish).

Thanks! Their funding offer is quite small (17k) and includes TAing, I'll need to talk to the department to determine whether it's enough to live on in NY.

Congrats! I'm stilling waiting for their call... Did the professor anything about the acceptance rate?

When did you hear back from Brown? I'm still waiting to hear from them. Were you at their recruitment day?

Yeah, but I imagine it's quite a difference from living in CA.

This morning, via email. This is for Brown Applied Math, not Biostats. I was not invited to a recruitment day.

Listen I don't mean to burst your bubble, but living in NYC is expensive enough with a full-time six-figure job. On a stipend? I couldn't imagine doing it.

The aforementioned stipend is enough to live in Stony Brook (I previously lived there).

 

CauchyProcess: If you end up moving to Stony Brook for school, then I think it would be wise to check out any potential housing situations before agreeing to a contract. I lived in an on-campus housing unit that was very poorly maintained, and I saw several off-campus units that were in awful shape (the apartments I saw were being rented by international students, so they may have been taken advantage of).

It appears as though Rice sent out some acceptances today.

I interviewed with RIce and they seemed to like my app, but I have not received any word from them yet... hopefully I will hear something soon. Congrats to those who were accepted!

 

Congrats to Purdue admits too! That is a program I wish I had applied to.

From somebody's comment in Rice's results section, I gather than they have a couple rounds of offers.

Sounds good to me. Already having an offer from Florida takes some pressure off.

 

The other schools I'm waiting to hear from (assuming rejection from Berkeley) are similarly ranked to UF, and UF has pretty good placement, so I will likely accept the UF offer if I'm waitlisted at any of those schools and/or if I have not heard back from them by the end of the month.

 

If I get any more acceptances, I'll try to visit the departments and weigh my options.
