OMG, NO... If they only admit very few students, they should make this information public on their website... poopyhead 1
chisquare Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Am I too anxious or it's still too early for most schools to return the results? A little bit quiet for me....

Looking back at last year (just looking at "statistics" in the results search), nearly all decisions for stats programs came out after January 27th-29th ish, and most came out in the first couple of weeks of February.

So we will hear back from the departments probably this week and next week... Now I am even more nervous LOL

This is why life is unfair...:p When I start applying for biz school in this year (PhD programs in O.M.), I was wondering where all the money from the endowment devoted to this department goes (for example, how could NYU's Stern only take on 2-3 students in their OIMS programs, and 4-5 students in their Finance department. Same case with Columbia Biz's DRO program (1-3 students). Are they really that *poor* on financial side, or is it the way for them to maintain the highest quality of their incoming PhD classes? I don't think neither argument is valid...) They should be able to fund AT LEAST 5- 7 students in each of their disciplines by utilizing the tuition paid by MBA and Master students. Hmm...saving too much money for something else, I guess? Edited January 26, 2017 by ghjk

Well, if ALL the information public, you could guess how much they would lose in terms of *GREAT* candidates and the admission fees:) Robbentheking 1
StatsG0d Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I wonder if that Forbes article stating that Biostatistics was the number 1 graduate degree has caused a massive number of applicants. It seems like decisions are taking much longer to come out this year than in prior years. For example... Minnesota: Thus far, there has been 1 (or maybe 2--not sure if the recent one is biostat or epi) acceptance, as compared to 6 by this time last year.

lynntoujours Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Just wanna make sure: You guys are all talking about PhD programs here, right? As I am applying for only Masters program, it is normal that I haven't heard anything from any program now, right? All the programs I applied say they'll send out decisions by late Feb or March. Many thanks!!!

Many thanks!!! We are indeed referring to the PhD programs. It's certainly not abnormal to not have heard from Master's programs. Most schools will take care of PhD admissions first and then move on to Master's.

Oh yeah, that's NICE of them, but it doesn't work that way for their Finance or X/Y/Z department within Stern. A ridiculously low number right? The admitted guy should buy a bunch of lottery tickets... I'm pretty sure h/she has the high chance of winning:)) AK8 1

ghjk Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 (edited) Anyone heard from Princeton's ORFE PhD program? Edited January 27, 2017 by ghjk
abstract_art Posted January 27, 2017 Author Posted January 27, 2017 @ghjk For the past few years they released decisions starting in mid February so I wouldn't expect to hear from them for another few weeks

That article didn't come out until mid-December, which is kinda late to be putting an application together if you weren't already on track to do so.
poopyhead Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 So I guess this concludes yet another week without hearing back ...

I noticed that too, but I wonder if this year might have some exceptions:)) Anyway, I saw that you also applied there. Might sharing your profile stats with me through PM? Best of luck to you!!

I saw that Cornell's ORIE already admitted some M.S students, but have not seen anyone post their results for PhD apps on the result...
poopyhead Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Any word from Stanford ICME? They're having their admitted PhD applicants event in two weeks ...
