Stat Assistant Professor Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Well, UNC won't reject anyone until they have filled their incoming class, so everyone who has not heard from them is on their long waiting list for now, heh. Anyone who hasn't heard from UCLA at this point is on waiting list too, I think. I last checked w/ Berkeley in late February and found out I was on an informal waiting list of sorts, but I probably shouldn't get my hopes too high. I imagine their yield is pretty high and that they only accept one or two from the waiting list. One other member of this forum was already contacted by the DGS that they were highly ranked on it, so they are probably ranked higher than me. I just would like to be put out of my misery!

Stat Assistant Professor Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 The Berkeley rejection finally arrived. That's okay. Congrats to all who got in!
statisticsfall2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 No worries Applied Math to Stat, you made it further than most! Florida for sure now? I've emailed NC State and Columbia about status, and have heard nothing from either. UCLA said wait-list lol. I'm probably committing to CMU this weekend and will pull my name out of the other schools.

UF is looking very appealing now, but I think I'll wait till the end of the month for the remaining three schools to see if I get any other bites (always good to have a few options to choose from).
Stat Assistant Professor Posted March 22, 2014 Posted March 22, 2014 (edited) For anyone who is anxiously waiting on a waitlist: this post gives some anecdotal evidence that arranging to visit the department in person and conveying that, if you are accepted, you will definitely attend, could actually help push you up near the top of the waitlist. So if it's feasible, you might consider trying that (it might not work everywhere, but at this stage, it could be worth the risk). Just throwing this out there.

gradschoolroulette Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Has anyone heard from Pittsburgh for biostats PhD?
statisticsfall2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Has anyone applied for the NSF GRFP fellowship in mathematical sciences? if so, any insight?
ginagirl Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Has anyone heard from Pittsburgh for biostats PhD? Nope- I emailed the dept to ask about my status and haven't heard anything yet
faerare Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Has anyone heard from Pittsburgh for biostats PhD? They called to accept me at the beginning of March and I then heard about funding a few days later. I turned them down shortly after so hopefully that acceptance makes its way to someone else.
nala_la Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Hi. Anyone applying the AMSC program in UMD? Have you heard from them? Thanks
literaryreference Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I got a rejection from UMD a week ago, so I know they are in the process of making decisions. I got a call to interview at Pitt for stat, not biostat, but they may make decisions at the same time.

CauchyProcess Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Has anyone applied for the NSF GRFP fellowship in mathematical sciences? if so, any insight? Yes. Have not heard a word, but they are a government agency and very strict on procedure, usually don't publish results until early April, and publish all at once - rejections, acceptances, etc for everyone.
gradschoolroulette Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Waitlisted at Pittsburgh. If you for sure know you won't be going it'd make me and others on the waitlist soooooo grateful!

From the NSF GRFP thread it seems like they could be published on monday
faerare Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Has anyone heard from Boston University for biostats PhD?
ginagirl Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 If anyone is sitting on a Hopkins Biostats (PhD) acceptance and don't think you'll attend please let them know ASAP. I hate saying that because I would NEVER want to pressure anyone into declining an offer, but I want it so bad and I know I'm close :/
Noelle2010 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I heard from Pitt's Statistics PhD program... sort of I got an email from a gmail account. I honestly thought it was spam, but I'm happy I opened it. It said that I received a new message in their message center of the application status check page. Here was the message: "Many of you have written asking about your admission/application status. We are sorry, but due to an overwhelming amount of applications and the review process, we are running later than usual with our decisions. We have made a few admission decisions, but the graduate committee is still in active review status with regard to decisions. Our apologies and thank you for your patience." I think it's a little ridiculous that: (a.) they are not even using official Pitt email addresses (to me that is a little unprofessional) (b.) other programs need to hear our decisions in less than 20 days, and they haven't even sent out all of their acceptances/rejections Edited March 27, 2014 by Noelle2010
Stat Assistant Professor Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Got an informal acceptance from Rice U. last Thursday (professor e-mailed me asking if I was still interested in joining the department). I found out from the vice graduate chair of UCLA that I am waitlisted and that they will not make any decisions until April 15. I guess they really want to wait until they see who drops from the waitlist, in addition to who declines their acceptance offers, lol. Not sure I want to wait that long, as I do not prefer UCLA *that* much over Rice or Florida, so I will probably remove myself from this waitlist this week.
gradschoolroulette Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Are people here still waiting to hear from UNC-Chapel Hill for biostat? I emailed Stallings with no response--anyone who's in the same boat?

Out of curiosity, did you get any sense of whether there is a reasonable likelihood the department will have to accept off the waitlist at all? Or of how long the waitlist is? If last year's GC results are any indication, then the answer is "probably", it would seem. Edited April 1, 2014 by allemanau

You could probably inquire with the vice chair to see if you can find out your relative position on the waitlist, and thus, likelihood of admittance... I recall in another thread you said that you have several LOR writers who are connected to UCLA. Have you been in touch with any of these professors too, so they know you are waitlisted? Sometimes people can move up the waitlist by visiting the campus, getting profs to vouch for them, etc.
ashramsoji Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Anyone heard from any of the schools in the Washington DC area (UMD, GW, Georgetown)? I applied for the Master's program so just wondering if anyone's heard anything.
