coffeehouse Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Why does it seem like most people on this board are applying to biostats not pure stats?
Lelouch Lamperouge Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Why does it seem like most people on this board are applying to biostats not pure stats? I guess it's just because the results of stats programs will come later.
statisticsfall2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Should we Start a STATS PHD ONLY thread?
coffeehouse Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Should we Start a STATS PHD ONLY thread? Good thread! Can you edit it so that ONLY admissions are posted? (no questions etc) We can also use this format: Institution: Program: Decision: Funding: Notification date: Notified through: Comments:
statisticsfall2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Ok I added that format to the thread, and asked for people to only post results.
coffeehouse Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Fuck I see two admissions for Washington phd statistics on the results page. Rest will probably come next week?
outofstate Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Anyone know the admits visit date at Washington statistics?
lidon Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Anyone know the admits visit date at Washington statistics? March 7, according to their website.
coffeehouse Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 To the people who were admitted to Washington PhD Stats, could you guys post your profiles? I see two high Math GRE scores, that's impressive. Congrats! I would assume being admitted to Washington implies a very good shot at the other top ranked schools right? Washington is top tier, correct?
4thAndLong Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Has anybody heard from University of Iowa biostatistics? I see on the results page there is one MS acceptance still waiting on funding. http://www.thegradcafe.com/survey/index.php?q=iowa+biostatistics&t=a&o= I applied to the MS biostatistics program at Iowa. Should I assume I didn't get in if I haven't heard anything yet?

muzili Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 uw stats results may come out next week or next next week i guess. u of minnesota and ucla results will come out in a couple of weeks too. i have applied for all of these programs. hope to get at least one offer this month then i will feel safe. Really?! I am so nervous... And it seems that results of international students come out later...
muzili Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Just heard from OSU stats phd, no word on funding in email. Hopefully that's to follow! same like you! hope for good news together... Will OSU be your first choice?
muzili Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 CMU Statistics' email confirmation when you apply says: "All applicants will receive notification of their status by email no later than January 30. We realize that waiting is very difficult. However, we request that you do not call or email our offices to inquire about the status of your application." Does this mean everyone will receive admission/rejection by the end of this month? How come on the results page I see some results in Feb and March last year and the year previous? EVERYONE receiving result by end of this month seems insanely unlikely... I have the same confusion. And the online system has been closed. Do you know any other ways to check the status of materials?
muzili Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Just got an interview call from University of Texas, MD Anderson (Biostatistics PhD)! Fingers crossed Do you know whether or not the PhD program at TAMU has interview for applicants? haven't heard from them yet...

Congrats! I would assume being admitted to Washington implies a very good shot at the other top ranked schools right? Washington is top tier, correct? Where did you see the scores? Is it that no Math GRE score means no admission to UW?
persistent_homology Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 same like you! hope for good news together... Will OSU be your first choice? Me too! Even though you're the competition! I think it reasonable that if we are nominated for fellowships, then if we are not successful, then other forms of funding like TA are likely. OSU is a great fit for me and I would probably take it over Michigan, Alberta and Cornell. If I got into CMU or Chicago though I would probably take them, but of course those schools are long-shots. Not sure about Toronto or Wisconsin-Madison if I got in there. What about you?
coffeehouse Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Where did you see the scores? Is it that no Math GRE score means no admission to UW? That's not true, but the scores can be seen for any result with a red diamond. Anyone who got into Washington want to share their profiles?
muzili Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Me too! Even though you're the competition!

Not sure about Toronto or Wisconsin-Madison if I got in there. What about you? Yeah, it would be a great result for me if i can finally go to OSU. But my dream school is uw (although extraordinarily difficult...) I applied for CMU, but now I think maybe its focus on machine learning is not a good fit on me.
muzili Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Does anybody know how many PhD students uw stat will give admission for 2014 Fall? ...
aridneptune Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 So far I've gotten admitted to NC State (a week ago, I thought that was very early) and waitlisted to UW Biostat. That's all I've heard back from. Guess there's a bit more waiting to do...
statisticsfall2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Maybe the schools have admitted the to applicants only, and are waiting to see if they accept/reject right away to know how many spots will be opened for others.
wine in coffee cups Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Does anybody know how many PhD students uw stat will give admission for 2014 Fall? ... In recent years around 30-50, you can nose around some data by department here: http://www.grad.washington.edu/about/statistics/admissions/ (ignore the Statistics: Advanced Methods and Data Analysis line in the reports for the past couple of years, that's for the fee-based master's program)
toyoujhj Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Has anyone received any news from Harvard Biostatistics?
