I have! But did not get reply

[mhnaomi]

Hi cyprusprior, I have also been admitted by UW's Biostatistics PhD program. I am waiting for results from other programs now. 

 

seems you got a lot of offers! Congrats!!

[mhnaomi]

Why just rejections from Duke? Nobody get offers from Duke? waiting is so hard...

can't agree more!

[Lelouch Lamperouge]

seems you got a lot of offers! Congrats!!

Thank you! I am looking forward to seeing you at Brown!

[statisticsfall2014]

Did you two both Accept offers to Brown?

Just the Recruitment Day, not official offer

[statisticsfall2014]

Oh ok. Yeah the wait is brutal, I'm just hoping I can get into one place of the ten I applied. I wish there was away to guarantee that

I fully understand. Yeah getting one offer makes life much easier.

I contacted CMU and they said it wont be until Feb.

 

Also what is happening with Wharton? No admissions yet?

[effhorses]

Got an acceptance from Harvard about an hour ago. In complete disbelief right now.

Congrats! Pure Stats? by email or postal service?

[Stat Assistant Professor]

Congrats effhorses! Did you receive a personal e-mail from a professor or an e-mail to check a website from the Graduate School? Just curious.

Yeah pure stats, by email.

 

 

Congrats effhorses! Did you receive a personal e-mail from a professor or an e-mail to check a website from the Graduate School? Just curious.

 

It was written by the department head but sent from a different address, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't a personal email, just a generic one they send to all admits.

 

Didn't provide specific details about financial support, just said I would receive an admission letter and statement of financial support within the week. Not sure if I should interpret that as full support or not.

[Stat Assistant Professor]

Congrats! I haven't received any e-mail, but I'd be quite shocked if I did, honestly, since Harvard was definitely a long shot for me. Harvard will definitely give you full support. Treat yo'self tonight!

I'll celebrate for sure. Harvard was the one school I had completely written off as a rejection, so I'm still pretty shocked myself. Don't give up hope just yet!

Seems unlikely they would admit again though :S Especially if your email seems like a generic email to everyone.

[probstats]

I just talked to the Harvard department of statistics and they said the majority of their acceptances will be sent out around March 15.

[Stat Assistant Professor]

probofstats, I think you may be thinking of the Master's acceptances. I would assume that the PhD applicants would hear back much sooner. Judging from past result postings, acceptances and rejections should all be mailed out by mid-Feb. I'm not certain if all PhD acceptance letters go out at the same time. I'd think so, but maybe not?

[coffeehouse]

Should I email and acquire about my status... Hmm...

[Stat Assistant Professor]

Judging from the results page, all the admits received the e-mail at the same time, so if I didn't get an e-mail, I am (most likely) either waitlisted or rejected. I think I will pass on contacting any depts,  unless I have not heard definitive rejection, waitlist, or acceptance by late Feb., but if anyone DOES decide to contact them, be sure to let us know what they said! Thanks!

damnit, and it looks like santa barbara has accepted people too. reality is sinking in I may be rejected everywhere. 

[Stat Assistant Professor]

statisticsfall2014, I'm starting to have the same worries myself. It's still a little bit early, but the thought has definitely crossed my mind, and I wonder if it's worth it to apply to any schools with later deadlines for fall 2014 at this point. I applied to 11 schools but I wonder if my list was too 'top-heavy.' Haha.

[statisticsfall2014]

Haha exactly!!! I'm thinking about making a late run at San Diego state- computational statistics PHD (Feb 15th), or U florida. Florida is February 1st though. It's just annoying having the hassle my recommendation writers again honestly. 

 

Any other ideas on late deadlines?

[effhorses]

Would you mind sharing your profile for the rest of us?

 

Sure. For what it's worth I also got rejected from Washington.
