weezyF Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Does anybody know of anything that has come back besides the duke shortlist which was earlier? Particularly, washington, harvard, stanford, CMU, yale, berkeley, chicago, wharton, columbia, duke? In the results search it says that someone was accepted to CMU on 19 December, which doesn't make sense since the application was due 22 December...Best of luck to everyone out there, just trying to wait this thing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatsG0d Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Same boat. Looking at last year, it seems that statistics results just came out much later than biostats. It seems like many decision were made mid to late February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwulf Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 By the way, this gap between biostat and stat results happened because an "arms race" started in biostat a few years ago when there were a relatively small number of top-notch students applying to the field. A couple of departments moved their application deadlines earlier so that they could start contacting applicants before anyone else, everyone else had no choice but to follow suit and so here we are. I don't expect the timeline to shift much in the foreseeable future, however, as there are now a lot more elite applicants to biostat hence less of a need for departments to fight over a small number of tasty morsels.

Anakin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It seems like UW stats sent out acceptances around this time last year. The anticipation is killing me!  Refreshing my inbox, checking the forums, and searching the results are becoming crippling addictions. Maybe joining the convo will bring some relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I guess this might happen for stats in the near future, given the increased competition among applicants in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezyF Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 yea UW came out tomorrow last year. But the year before there were two rounds ranging from 19th to 24th, so it could be like a week longer :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonerCoffee Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Congratulations WeezyF (Baby?)!  I also find the lower level of activity in the forums this year interesting especially since it seems like more and more people have been getting interested in stat/biostat lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLHopeful Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Can confirm that Washington statistics acceptances have been sent out. Â Apparently they had 280 applicants for 10-12 spots. That a lot of applications, any idea how it compares to previous years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSc_in_SMC Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I just found out I have been admitted to Washington PhD in stats too! Turns out the auto-forward on my email was caught up for a couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epimeleia_heautou Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Also accepted to UW statistics PhD, which I almost can't believe as my academic record is not as strong as those just flown on the results page. Just goes to show fit and letters can make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be at all surprised if someone forgot to update a line in the initial wave of offers that went out yesterday.  The official numbers from last year was 284 applicants, 28 offers. For confusing reasons these include part-time master's students (who were 3 of the enrolled students, unsure how many were offered or applied), but not full-time.

wine in coffee cups Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Interesting. Any idea what the number would look like when restricted to PhD applications? I don't think part-time master's students are a large share of that applicant pool. They are basically all already living in Seattle and employed off-campus part-time or PhD students in other departments at UW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
