Their admissions faq suggests it is more like a rolling system. Their yield is probably low so it's definitely possible they will send more out and that you might have your application reviewed. Have you emailed them? Why is the yield for NCSU so low? Why would they get declined so often? They rank 10 (tied) in the last US News Rank, their stipend is competitive (USD 18k for nine months), the city/weather looks fine. Also, haven't heard from UT Austin and TAMU, but you did. Guess I'm informally out of the game for them. Edited January 29, 2018 by BayesianLove missing word Woolworth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just received an offer from SFU but I heard that there is only a few weeks for making a decision. All of my application for universities in US haven't got any news yet :-( Here are my questions: 1. Can I email to other universities, telling them my situation now, to ask them to tell me the status of my application? 2. Is it really really terrible to pay a deposit fee but go to another school in the end? I really need help for these. Thank you very much! Waterloo told me they understand US schools have later timeframes for sending out acceptances, so they're fine with students accepting their offer now and then changing their minds in a month since they only give 3 weeks to accept or decline. I'd expect SFU is similar, but maybe just email the grad coordinator there to double check. I'm not sure what deposit you'd be asked to pay within the next month or two, so that shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm informally out of the game for them. Yield rates look to be around 40-50% in general, and I think it is because people get multiple offers frequently and you can't attend everywhere.

It's higher than usual but definitely not twice as high. Yale's website says that they received about 350 applications in 2017.

cchef Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 It seems like a few people have gotten interviews from Johns Hopkins (Biostat PhD) on different days.

Source: https://statistics.yale.edu/academics/graduate-programs/terminal-ma-program/terminal-ma-admissions Thanks for the clarification! I didn't apply for Yale's MA program so I didn't do much research on it, sorry for the misinformation. One of the programs I applied for usually has about 200 applications each year so I guess I mistakenly thought that 200 is usually the number of applications most schools will receive.

NumStats Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I saw a lot of people have already received admissions. Congrats to all of them! I haven't got any result from the schools that I applied to. Is this a sign of rejection? I am pretty stressed out waiting right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that I applied for all Ph.D programs. I was a little bit too confident that I would be fine, but after seeing the GPA, GRE, and past experiences of those who got accepted and rejected I'm starting to doubt my chance.

For what it's worth, I'm also in the same boat, plus I have a very likely rejection from Duke since I never received an interview invitation. It's stressful, but we should start getting results soon!

Only mainly the top programs (roughly) are beginning to send out results. A lot more of them should start releasing soon, and I wouldn't count yourself out.

Cal1gula Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Rejected by Emory (expected, but disappointing--I guess you never get used to getting rejections). The next few months will be tough. Going to brace myself for the inevitable string of rejections from Michigan, Minnesota (optimistically speaking, the results should be out next week) and Vanderbilt.
