Karoku_valentine Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) I received a funded offer from Purdue University, but I think I will decline. I know it is ranked higher than Ohio State (24 vs 27), but the stipend is less and I am supposed to pay small tuition (3K) and the 25% of insurance. While OSU has a higher stipend, same housing prices, no tuition at all. Plus West Lafayette is a "rural" town, so in order to do an internship I would need to move to another city, unlike OSU.

Ellies Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Well I am 100% sure I will be declining now. I received an offer with a fellowship to Purdue and will likely be accepting! Hopefully doing that will put you in the admits list. WOW, great job, football man! Congratulations again. Your admissions seem to be rolling in! Thanks, I hope it helps, and I'm not number 5 on a list for just one position or something... haha! I was thinking of calling today, but we're having ANOTHER snow day here in NJ, so I doubt anybody will be in.
Ellies Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Well I emailed them and was told I was accepted into the masters program instead. Great. That's the end of that dream...
zhangr100 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Any one here has applied Ph.D. in Statistics at Boston University? Are there any results released?
TenuousAtBest Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Well I emailed them and was told I was accepted into the masters program instead. Great. That's the end of that dream... Did you ask about funding? Some programs offer TA positions to MS students.
Ellies Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Did you ask about funding? Some programs offer TA positions to MS students. Good point. I doubt it, though... according to the Rutgers website, they rarely give out funding for master's students. But I guess I'll wait to see what the official email says.
Karoku_valentine Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I just received admission to Rutgers and said they were unable to offer me any funding. I am going to decline of course.
Ellies Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Karoku_valentine, did you apply to the masters or the PhD?
statsgirl4 Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Ellies, who did you contact in the department? Was it Dr. Kolassa? I am also waiting to hear back from Rutgers.
Karoku_valentine Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Stats girl, yes, it was Dr. Kolassa. Masters. Thanks for the contact, I will let him know I am not going.
PrimeMumble Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Hello, you all!I've been waitlisted by Stanford (pure math), but I dunno if accepted applicants actually turn down an offer like that. Should I wait or should I go? I don't have A CLUE of what could happen.
Ellies Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 PrimeMumble, I would give it some time. People do turn down offers for various different reasons; you never know. Unless, of course, you have a great offer elsewhere and the deadline for accepting that offer is approaching.
kgbfan Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I emailed the AMSC department at University of Maryland and found out I've been waitlisted. I applied to the Applied Statistics concentration. It's good to know there's still a chance!
Ellies Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Today, I was unofficially accepted to the Rutgers stats PhD program, but waitlisted for funding. Dream is alive again! I was originally accepted to the masters only due to a misunderstanding related to my application. Unfortunately, all funded offers have already gone out. Edited March 13, 2015 by Ellies MLHopeful 1
thatguy999 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Today, I was unofficially accepted to the Rutgers stats PhD program, but waitlisted for funding. Dream is alive again! I was originally accepted to the masters only due to a misunderstanding related to my application. Unfortunately, all funded offers have already gone out. I'm in a similar position. I was accepted to the Tufts PhD program but waitlisted for funding. I have a full tuition scholarship, though. Do you plan going if you don't get funding? i'm making that decision myself.

Ellies Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Thanks, kgbfan! Thatguy999, I am considering it. I'd rather be funded of course, but it's not that expensive since I will get in-state tuition rates. Also, it will only be for one year since they told me that if I do well enough that year, it's likely I'll be funded for the remaining years. I do, however, still have an outstanding PhD application at the math department. When I emailed them I was told they won't even look at applications until May. Should they fund me and the wait list doesn't work out for me at the stats department, then I will of course go there. So it's all still up in the air, but I'm feeling better since it certainly looks like at least SOMETHING will happen for me this fall.
Clarinetist Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Dang, I haven't heard from Iowa State (M.S. Statistics, online) yet. :/ Getting nervous about this. I'm starting to think I won't get accepted.
statsgirl4 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Congratulations Ellie! I'm so happy for you! Has anyone heard from Northwestern? It's starting to get really late in the game to hear back for PhD acceptances, I think.
Portmanteaujam Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Congratulations Ellie! I'm so happy for you! Has anyone heard from Northwestern? It's starting to get really late in the game to hear back for PhD acceptances, I think. I have -- received formal notification of admission middle of last week.
Bespoke Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Saw some JHU Biostatistics PhD action recently (rejections...) --anyone heard back? I didn't receive an interview invite, but still believe there's a chance for whatever reason. Like a thirsty guy still waiting for a girl to text back after days of radio silence.
CommonerCoffee Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Saw some JHU Biostatistics PhD action recently (rejections...) --anyone heard back? I didn't receive an interview invite, but still believe there's a chance for whatever reason. Like a thirsty guy still waiting for a girl to text back after days of radio silence. Haven't heard back from my end either and I didn't get an interview. Seems unlikely in any case but this leaves some hope maybe?
Ryan123 Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Will you attend? I have -- received formal notification of admission middle of last week.
