I feel like Columbia is going to come at the very end of February.  The PhD data is pretty limited it is hard to tell.   @NumStats hopefully you will have good news soon.  It seems like things are at least slightly behind in general.  

Thanks, hopefully that's the case (finger crossed). I don't know why the schedules are slightly behind tho. Maybe more applicants?

I have just finished my interview for UMich biostat PhD (via phone, the professor told me they were not supposed to give interviewee notice before making phone call). The professor said they will not meet until next week so I assume the result will come out sometime next week. I am an international applicant so I don't know if this is also true for domestic applicants.

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

Here is a constantly updated thread of admission results summary from a Chinese forum in case anyone is interested: http://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-315584-1-1.html

When I put I through google translate I kept seeing “no prize” is that mean unfunded or a rejection or something?  The rest of it translated pretty well.

I just got off the phone with Michigan Biostats (applied for their PhD) and we talked about my research interests (which is every topic ever) and had my questions about the department answered. Like others have mentioned they are about 2 weeks out from releasing decisions.

I was accepted to U of Missouri this morning with funding.   I guess first round admissions weren't reported in the past for Missouri and Kansas State or they finished weeks early.   

They're such small programs and such a small percentage of people report admissions, especially to less competitive programs. My Missouri admission came February 6th when I applied there too so this is normal.

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?

Have your schools posted acceptances yet? Where did you apply?

Same here ..just heard from 2 while I see people applying to similar schools as me getting acceptances ( for which I am pretty happy but a bit frustrated that the universities would not roll out decisions for the rest of us)
