Karoku_valentine Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I received two days ago my acceptance to the MS in Statistics in Virginia Tech. I was also admitted to Ohio State University and I will be attending to their Graduate Information Day. I will accept their offer once I know the results for Iowa State and Texas A&M (in case I am admitted to any of these, I might end up attending here), Purdue University is also great, but I have the impression Ohio and the other two are more prestigious. However, something is bugging me. I am interested in econometrics, sampling and surveys, time series and environmental statistics. Somehow, I feel like Virginia Tech is better suited to my interests, but the program at Ohio seems to be better overall. In general, the reputation of Ohio is very good too. What do you think about Virginia Tech and how does it fare against Ohio State? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatsG0d Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm pretty sure Purdue is more highly ranked than Ohio State (at least according to USNWR). They also have a lot of professors that research time series. At any rate, at the end of the day it's about where you want to go and where you find to be the best fit.

Indeed it is, but right now I only have admission to Ohio and Virginia Tech. I had talked with the chair of the Department of Statistics at Iowa State and he recommended me to apply to Iowa S, but made no promises (a couple of exclassmates are there studying their PhD's) since they needed to review my whole file. Hopefully everything will turn out fine and I will attend any of those four, which are excellent schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonerCoffee Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 What leads you to believe CMU is notifying people today? Their confirmation email you get when you submit your application to CMU had the following line in it: "All applicants will receive notification of their status by email no later than January 30. " But it seems like that wasn't the case last year and it's looking like we're going to have to wait some more this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathlover06 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Does anyone know when CMU will send out decisions? Was pretty excited to receive the decision by January 30 but obviously that isn't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatsG0d Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Indeed it is, but right now I only have admission to Ohio and Virginia Tech.

Hopefully everything will turn out fine and I will attend any of those four, which are excellent schools. I forgot that this is for MS applications. I would suggest that you contact the departments you want to go to but haven't yet heard from and explain to them that you've already heard back from a few schools but you are more interested in attending school X and that you're wondering if they can expedite the decision process. Couldn't hurt at least. Although I'm sure you'll find that Columbus is a better city to live in than West Lafayette. Good luck to you.

StatsG0d Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I had called the UCLA stats department. They said we should know by Feb 1st. So all the best to everyone out there! That program hasn't been accepting many internationals and that is what concerns me. Did you end up hearing from them? I saw there were more results on Saturday but I haven't heard anything yet. Maybe I should contact the department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them up a while back and a lady told me that a number of rejections were sent over the weekend and if we haven't heard from them yet then " no news is good news ".

StatsG0d Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I called them just now. I was told that no decision was made on my application yet, and they were still sending out invites and I should "sit tight for about a week or so." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonerCoffee Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hmm... just saw a UC Berkeley Biostatistics acceptance appear. That one wasn't me but I just got an acceptance email for UC Berkeley also. The funding situation in the email does confuse me so I'll probably be sending an email to someone in their department soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclecat Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I have seen several decisions from UT Austin, but I just emailed the department and they said "All admissions decisions have not been made." Hmmmmmmm, so interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa8191 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 For people getting offer from UC Berkeley, did you guys originally apply for PhD and got accepted to masters? or you guys originally applied to master program? I'm just wondering if the result for master program is out yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonerCoffee Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 I applied for the MA since I thought they didn't take undergraduates into their PhD program straightaway anyways. Seems like those who applied for the PhD straight from undergrad got a different email since the other result on the search wrote down MA/PhD funded.

StatsG0d Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 This thread is awfully quiet as compared to last year. Probably due to the fact that results seem to be coming in very slowly this year. I heard back from A&M almost two weeks ago now and not a single word from any other school. Thus far, of the 17 schools in my list, I have only seen results on TGC from A&M, UCLA, and Northwestern (only interviews and only international students). I hope I hear back from other schools soon before I have an anxiety attack. UMich rolled out around this time last year, so I hope there's some autocorrelation there because it's my first choice.
