localfdr Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 The forum has been surprisingly quiet, which scares me a bit :). Last year, a thread, which accomodated all the applicants waiting for their decisions and constantly refreshing their e-mail, was already active. This thread serves the same purpose. Last year UW biostats had already sent out results for many people. I am getting impatient :(. stat_phd_11 and StatMaster2016 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberwulf Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm also curious as to the reason the forum has been quieter this year. At least at our institution, applicant numbers have been about the same as last year so it isn't from lack of interest in statistics/biostatistics. localfdr, stat_phd_11 and stats_monte 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stats_monte Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just saw on the results search that someone got a admission letter from NC State. I'm a little worried now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stat_phd_11 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Just got an invitation to interview at UPenn Was wondering, from a general standpoint, the P(acceptance|interview) for biostat phd programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously this is going to vary by department but generally the probabilities range from about 0.7 to 0.95. yeezy88 and stat_phd_11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostatz1234 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Do you think people aren't posting on the forum? or that acceptances are delayed this year and haven't came out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessBride Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Is it probable that there are just significantly less applicants this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epimeleia_heautou Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'd say it's possible, though not probable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeezy88 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I applied to 8 PhD Biostatistics program. I have attended the open house at Harvard last weekend. Should I be worried if I haven't heard from other schools yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC1020 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I'm applying to eight stats/data science masters programs. Only two of the deadlines have passed but most of the rest of them are coming up in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Looks like Harvard, Iowa, Duke, Georgia, Ohio State, NC State and UPenn have started to send acceptances for Statistics. Good luck to those that applied to these schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localfdr Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 It seems like Chicago & Harvard Stats have also started sending out acceptances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they send out acceptances throughout a period of time or at the same time? I know Chicago considers applicants in batches, but it seems like Harvard sends out all admission letters just in one day (I'm just speculating based on the results from the previous years).

Yeah Chicago definitely does it in batches (i.e. I have not lost hope yet!) , also to quote from their FAQ: "We consider applications in batches. For example, one week we may consider all the applicants who are interested in a particular specialty or who are from a particular part of the world. We release decisions throughout February and March. If you have not received a decision from us, we are still considering your application." I do not really know about Harvard Stats since I have not applied there. At least it seems like they send a big batch of their admission letters simultaneously.

Yeah also someone was rejected from Chicago (based on the GradCafe) so we should still just wait for the result! And same here, I don't really know what's the deal with Harvard Stats. But I wasn't hoping to get in to begin with So you are applying to both biostats and stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
