PackersFan125 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 By email it is a recruitment event with an interview session for biostat btw
Bespoke Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Congratulations, PackersFan. Hm, I haven't received one today... not good...
PackersFan125 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Thank you but that doesn't mean they have sent them all out it seems mant schools do it over the a period of time
dynamic89 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 What about harvard biostats? Anyone went to their "open house"?
PackersFan125 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I don't know if anyone can answer this but assuming you get an interview, what is the likelihood you get rejected? Is it mostly for the school to narrow down people from a first cut to a final decision or is it mostly for the student to get a sense of the program?
dynamic89 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 no I didnt get an interview. I heard they'd admit pretty much all interviewed. I am an international so not sure when I'll get a response from them, if not a straight rejection..
CommonerCoffee Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Hm, didn't get the JHU interview invite or a Wisconsin Madison decision today. Wished schools would just mass send all yes or no's at once instead of leaving some to speculate.
StatsG0d Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Hm, didn't get the JHU interview invite or a Wisconsin Madison decision today. Wished schools would just mass send all yes or no's at once instead of leaving some to speculate. I guess that would be nice but they are probably considering you for the second around of admits. It's always better to be considered than flat out rejected, right?

Wished schools would just mass send all yes or no's at once instead of leaving some to speculate. Of course, the solution is to simply check gradcafe less. But we all know the likelihood of that.
stats_applicant Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Sounds like we need to hype up this party and add to the anxiety. Aside from NC State, it seems like most schools are slower than last year, but I could be imagining things. This time last year for statistics, really the only results that I remember were from Wisconsin, Washington, and NCSU. A bunch came out around the second week of February.
CommonerCoffee Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 I guess that would be nice but they are probably considering you for the second around of admits. It's always better to be considered than flat out rejected, right? Haha, I know what I proposed is more or less a logistical impossibility and yeah I hope that's the case. This is good patience training if nothing else.
biostatman Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Harvard acceptances are rolling out... Are you talking about the interview invitations they sent a few weeks ago, or are they actually sending out the letters of acceptance?
CommonerCoffee Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Are you talking about the interview invitations they sent a few weeks ago, or are they actually sending out the letters of acceptance? There are a bunch of Harvard Statistics PhD results out in the results search right now. Nothing official on Biostatistics yet it seems.
jd24 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Are you talking about the interview invitations they sent a few weeks ago, or are they actually sending out the letters of acceptance? It's stats PhD acceptance emails. Biostat decisions come by mail, and probably won't arrive until either very late next week or early the week after
Ergodic Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Just got an email that NC State has waitlisted me. They received 600 applications this time!!
unclecat Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Didn't receive any emails today, like the end of my dream
StatsG0d Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Yeah I saw that UCLA rolled out today and I haven't received any emails. In fact, my application still says "Submitted" on ApplyYourself. Kind of worried at this point.

Kind of worried at this point. 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.
econ_to_stats Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Just got an email that NC State has waitlisted me. They received 600 applications this time!! I got the same email today.
wanthony86 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 All Hopkins Biostat invites have been sent out. According to the email I received, if you haven't received one, this "decreases chances dramatically."
Bespoke Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 All Hopkins Biostat invites have been sent out. According to the email I received, if you haven't received one, this "decreases chances dramatically." Darn... when were you told this?
wanthony86 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The email did imply there was still a chance if students turn down their offers, but yea, the tone of it seemed pretty grim. There was no mention of a wait list either.
