Has anyone heard from michigan state?

I haven't gotten in anywhere, and its the last school I have left to hear from. I've already emailed them like three times before asking about my application, the first time they told me they told me they were reviewing international applications the second time they said they were still reviewing my application, and the third time they said they hadn't made a decision. I thought I would hear from them by yesterday, but still nothing. I'm unsure if I should email them again.

When I applied to Michigan State I emailed them a few times but didn't get my rejection until September.

Do you have any safety school to back up?

no. michigan state was kind of the backup. my letter writers were pretty confident that i was going to get in a bunch of places. none of the schools i applied to were even top 10. some weren't even in the top 25. also one of my advisors went to michigan state and he said i was in much better shape than he was when he applied. i guess times are just different and none of us were aware of how competitive it has become.

anyway, i have other things lined up for next year. even though i'm a graduating senior, i was able to get into an reu for this summer. last summer was my first time doing one. also, i got a internship starting in september doing math research. its more in the computational geometry realm though.
