I haven't heard anything from any school... I am starting to get nervous. I applied to 10 Stats PhD programs. anyone else in the same boat?

I'm in the same boat. I applied to 13, no result yet. Most likely rejection from CMU tho they seem to have sent all the acceptance. Hopefully it's going to get better soon.

[SheldonCopper]

Haven’t heard anything back here as well. I applied for 15 programs and only received one wait list. I am also assuming rejection from CMU.

@SheldonCopper what were your stats like?

[Radon-Nikodym]

Got an email from Berkeley to check the status of my application... and there was an acceptance letter waiting for me!!! I'm in disbelief right now.

BIG CONGRATS!!

So, what program did you apply to? Cuz I'm also waiting for Berkeley, though they told me to expect the result from mid-Feb to early-March.

Guys, help me with interpreting this email:

"Thank you for submitting your application to the School of Sciences. We would like to extend an offer of admission however your application is missing your official TOEFL score report from ETS. "

Forget about the TOEFL, I will sort it out. Does that mean that they will make me an offer of admission? I am literally dumb right now and I just want to clarify it

Sounds like it!

How is the interview going? Would you mind sharing some details on what is talked about?

Self introduction at first, and talked about my undergraduate research experience, programming skills and research interest.  My interviewer said they do not usually take undergrads into PhD program, so it's highly likely I will be offered MS admission, possibly with funding. The main intention of the interview is to learn if I will be suitable for GSRA.

Quite a few Stanford PhD decisions were posted recently. A bit of a bloodbath. My condolences to those who didn’t get in.

I'm in the same boat!! Going crazy. I also applied to CSU... I don't understand how people are already hearing things from them.. Deadline was only 7 days ago.

I know!! How is that possible??! It's driving me crazy, but I just need one school to accept me.  Glad there are others going through the same anxiety. haha.

Does anyone know well about the stats department in Northwestern?

Did you get accepted there? It's a very small department, interested to hear if anyone knows much about it. 

[bayessays]

Are other people still waiting on U Chicago PhD decisions? I think it's interesting that they've sent out both acceptances and rejections but others are still waiting to hear.

Historical data suggests they release in waves. Not sure what, if anything, determines who falls in what wave.

I was rejected from UChicago’s PhD back in January, but last night I received an admit to their Masters.

Don't lose hope!

Got accepted to Minnesota!

[Woolworth]

Cornell phd is killing me, no notifications released either way. 

[phdhopeful1995]

Anyone here heard back from UMich Statistics PhD? I saw few rejections in the result section.

[NumStats]

A lot of Michigan admit and reject; I still haven't heard any

[phdhopeful1995]

What is the difference between A.M Statistics and Statistics btw ?
