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.

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.

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

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. :unsure: Thx~

Woo, just got confirmation of funding from Cornell, and found it I got in to the joint machine learning program at CMU!

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..

Congratulations! I really hope I get into the joint program also, but I think the plain stats program will be awesome.

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!

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...

The department said that I will be fully funded; so I assume you would be funded too.

Thanks for the information! Hope I'll hear it today...

 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.

Yep, I am going on the 7th.

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!
