I saw someone got waitlisted at CMU on grad cafe, so if you're waiting on them you might want to check.

Please forgive me for the incorrect information in my previous email. Due to outside factors, our admission process has been somewhat delayed. Currently we hope to have all decisions made and all applicants notified by March 15.
Again, I am sorry if this delay has caused you any inconvenience.
I emailed and got a reply that although the final decisions are pending, the probability of me getting an offer is very low.kansas_math wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 4:13 pmHas anyone here emailed Minnesota/heard anything? I'm assuming they already finished the first round of admits, but it doesn't seem like anyone has been notified of waitlist or rejection yet.
I too sent an email and got no reply. Previously they wrote that all offer shall be sent by 2nd March.chrisps1992 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 2:38 pmAm I the only one still waiting on penn state? There are a few decisions on grad cafe, but I’ve heard nothing.
I really know that feeling. Be confident! The email you got just says that they want you! As for the wait, there will be administrative procedures for a university to send out offers. I mean, the graduate committee will make a decision first and then the department and the grad school will come into the play in order. So it is never surprised to see a (perhaps quite long) wait before the official acceptance even if you got unofficial one. Don't worry, your school is on its way preparing an official letter as well as funding to you. If you want some example, my first (unofficial) offer came on Jan. 31, but the official letter came on Feb. 19. And I did not receive funding information until one week later. I hope this can more or less relieve your anxiety.2girls1cup wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 6:31 pmI got an email last week tuesday from an university I applied to which said more or less the following:

whether you're still interested. In case you are not, we'd also like to know as that opens the slot for someone else"
I immediately became really excited, because this mail looks more or less as a confirmation of getting accepted,
but now it's wednesday and I'm loosing hope on this, and this is really worrying me because I really want to get into
this school, and I'm on the waitlist in the other applications. I know it's too early to be this worried, but I don't really
know what to think of this email, and whether I should be almost assured I've been accepted into this school. This
is making me really anxious.
I received an email from them minutes ago. They said they plan to have the decisions made and applicants noticed by mid-to-late March.mani_fold wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 1:31 pmAs of a few days ago.Junaid456 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 12:41 pmApplied to UCSD PhD in Math (Stats concentration) and got this response:

Probably umn, still haven't gotten denied by ucla yet. Maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up, likely they forgot to send me a rejection email LOLMathParent wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 10:04 amNicole, where did you end up going, or you are still deciding?

I've been put on one waitlist and haven't heard back from around 9 other schools. What do? This whole process just gives me mountains and mountains of anxiety. I ran into my letter writer today and he asked me about my results, and he just kinda shut up once I told him. These are very trying times.
I do know a friend of mine who applied to 7-8 schools and yet to heard back from any of them (no acceptances/rejections/waitlists). Bad luck maybe?

That is p messed up. You should decline that offer.nicole2 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 9:57 pmThere's this guy at my school that applied to Syracuse that got waitlisted LOL
He kept on complaining about me getting into schools while he gotten into nowhere, because he think he deserves better with a higher GRE math and taken upon graduate sequences. Big deal. I'm going to make sure I don't decline this offer until April 15th
That’s pretty mean-spirited and unnecessarily selfish. How would you feel if he did that to you? Basic empathy goes a long way. There’s enough evil in this world — don’t add to it.nicole2 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 9:57 pmThere's this guy at my school that applied to Syracuse that got waitlisted LOL

Oh I'm 200% certain he wouldn't hesitate to do the same to me. I'm certain he secretly hopes that I get into nowhere.

No one but some students applying to PhD programs care about these things. Here’s an example: there’s a tenured Professor at Chicago who got his PhD at Tufts. Does, say, Stanford attract stronger students on average than Tufts? Absolutely. And that’s why you see more Stanford PhD holders at top universities than Tufts. But schools like Tufts and others even in the top 100 still have some very strong faculty (who collaborate with people at schools like Stanford) and will occasionally get very strong students who wind up just as successful as they would have been had they gone to a “top” school. Ultimately, you are who you are. If you upload a proof of the Tate conjecture to the arxiv (or even something 1/100 as significant) no one will give a shit where you got your PhD. And on the flip side, there are PhD holders from Princeton who have been forced to go into data science boot camps after graduation due to mediocre research. There is no “golden ticket”. Let intellectual curiosity and love for mathematics guide you, because prestige chasing will have diminishing returns.PhilippMainlander wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 9:27 pmSometimes I get scared guys. I made a 640 on the math subject gre and graduated from a Group II university, and I'm applying to universities in the range of [75,33] on the US News Ranking. I really want to get into a GROUP I university, but I feel like my GRE is subpar compared to the competition. I have done research (discrete mathematics) with a professor for 3 years and we have been making nontrivial progress. My professor is well known in his mathematical subfield, but sometimes I get scared by my math subject GRE score.
Can anyone give me any opinions that aren't. "Lol you scored before 50%, your chances at a GROUP I university are over".

First, he’s not the only person on the waitlist. Second, don’t you think there’s a good chance he reads this forum? It would be pretty easy for him to deduce your identity.nicole2 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 10:51 pmOh I'm 200% certain he wouldn't hesitate to do the same to me.

Just a reminder, being young does not mean that you will be ok all the time. It can be found that this disease is really highly infectious if you look at some news about the outbreaks in China, Korea or Italy.

Have you thought that maybe he just feels insecure/is panicking about his future right now? I'm not saying he's handling it well, but that's no excuse to intentionally try and prevent him from getting in graduate school. Also, as other posters have mentioned, hanging on to this offer is mean thing to do to everyone at the waitlist at Syracuse. You have several offers at very good schools, so I assume you have no plans to accept it. Even though it's still unofficial, you should decline it ASAP. There's no need to wait for the official offer to roll in.nicole2 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 04, 2020 9:57 pmThere's this guy at my school that applied to Syracuse that got waitlisted LOL
