coffeehouse Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 How did you get confirmation of waitlist for CMU? Email from a professor. Directed to my name. My second choice was the joint one with stats and machine learning, but the professor said I got rejected from that.
Stat Assistant Professor Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I was accepted to University of Florida! My first acceptance. Anyone else apply to or hear from UF? If anyone cares, the stipend is $18k a year and I was offered a TAship and free health insurance. I will be withdrawing from consideration my applications to UMass-Amherst and Oregon State. Someone here mentioned that the Minnesota financial support is low? Could you please let me know how much it is? If it's too low, I will withdraw from Minnesota as well (feel free to message me personally if you're worried about "outing" yourself) Thanks. Edited February 13, 2014 by Stat Applicant
HappyGen Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) FWIW, I did an interview with PSU and they are sending out results soon- I was told during the interview that I am accepted, so it seems that decisions are already made at least in most part. I also got a waitlist from CMU - could somebody fill in funding details? Thank you Edited February 13, 2014 by HappyGen
Lelouch Lamperouge Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Anyone has idea about how to withdraw application politely?
StatPhD2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Anyone has idea about how to withdraw application politely? Just say you decided to accept another offer, no one will be offended
Stat Assistant Professor Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I just e-mailed the Graduate Coordinator, and they pretty much forwarded it to someone else immediately upon receipt to have my application withdrawn.

Stat Assistant Professor Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Congrats clurp and HappyGem! I am still waiting to hear from UNC-Chapel Hill, and I did not apply to PSU but I know their program is excellent.
ExpectoPatronum Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Out of curiosity: would anyone take Cornell over CMU? They've offered me a really nice fellowship that makes it tempting. But my interests are firmly in machine learning, and so it seems crazy not to go for CMU. Hi persistent_homology, when did you hear from Cornell about the fellowship? I got the informal letter from them last week, too, but haven't heard about the financial support yet. Thx~
agent229 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Woo, just got confirmation of funding from Cornell, and found it I got in to the joint machine learning program at CMU!

I also got a waitlist from CMU - could somebody fill in funding details? Thank you I am in the same situation. I also was told during the interview that I am accepted to PSU. Is that mean full-funding ?? Funding is really important for me..
persistent_homology Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Woo, just got confirmation of funding from Cornell, and found it I got in to the joint machine learning program at CMU! Congratulations! I really hope I get into the joint program also, but I think the plain stats program will be awesome.
persistent_homology Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Hi persistent_homology, when did you hear from Cornell about the fellowship? I got the informal letter from them last week, too, but haven't heard about the financial support yet. Thx~ Hey I got an informal email February 5th telling me I'd have some sort of funding, then I got the details Feb 13th. I'm sure you'll hear soon!
muzili Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I guess CMU is another rejection for me..since they have sent out waitlist but I still hear nothing
echlori Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I guess CMU is another rejection for me..since they have sent out waitlist but I still hear nothing I'm assuming the same. Keeping my fingers crossed for Michigan...
HappyGen Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I am in the same situation. I also was told during the interview that I am accepted to PSU. Is that mean full-funding ?? Funding is really important for me.. The department said that I will be fully funded; so I assume you would be funded too.
ExpectoPatronum Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Hey I got an informal email February 5th telling me I'd have some sort of funding, then I got the details Feb 13th. I'm sure you'll hear soon! Thanks for the information! Hope I'll hear it today...
agent229 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Congratulations! I really hope I get into the joint program also, but I think the plain stats program will be awesome. Thank you! I agree, either would be awesome. My hardest task now is convincing my partner that he wouldn't absolutely hate living in Pittsburgh..... I actually can't visit the ML program specifically so I am just going to the visit for the regular stat and will meet a few of the crossover professors there.

That's funny I have the same task with my fiance . Perhaps I will see you at the stats open house then.
StatPhD2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 hopefully today is the day uchicago releases results
coffeehouse Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I totally agree ^ Last year they were a good 3 weeks earlier...
agent229 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 That's funny I have the same task with my fiance . Perhaps I will see you at the stats open house then. Yep, I am going on the 7th.
effhorses Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Finally got a rejection email from CMU. A little disappointing, but unsurprising given they'd already admitted and waitlisted people. Congrats to all who got in! Edited February 14, 2014 by effhorses
StatPhD2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 looks like Uchicago started i didnt get anything from them yet though
