I am also really banking on Oregon but they are not sending offers yet, are they?Mustela nivalis wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:47 pmIt seems that I will be rejected from every school.

There is an acceptance post on gradcafe so its possible they are sending offers today (or already have).algebro wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 3:25 pmI am also really banking on Oregon but they are not sending offers yet, are they?Mustela nivalis wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:47 pmIt seems that I will be rejected from every school.

There’s still a lot of time between now and April 15. Things are only just getting started! I know schools have unofficial waitlists so it could be that you’re on one of those. Then it’s just a matter of waiting and seeing if enough people decline. Try not to worryMustela nivalis wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:47 pmIt seems that I will be rejected from every school.

I wouldn’t say so. I don’t know if Notre Dame has an unofficial waitlist. It could be that they do, and you might not hear back for a while, like what I said above. I don’t know, past results in gradcafe may be able to help. Nothing’s certain until you hear back!chrisps1992 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 3:13 pmIs it safe to say if you didn’t get an offer today that you are waitlisted or rejected?
I am in a similar situation. My school doesn’t have many master students (in fact only me still surviving this academic year) so I don’t have many examples to compare. However, I know a master student last year, who is much better than me, got all schools rejected, including my own school. By the way, do you need to apply PhD the same as others, so a different procedure?
This is what Oregon told me. Good waiting.
I believe the committee is nearly done reviewing the applications. Decisions will most likely go out early next week
This year is a bit behind I think. Since most of the postdoc hiring is between Feb 2 to Feb 7, many phd offers should come after prob next week or so.
When did they tell you this? Because there are two acceptances on gradcafe today. Perhaps both are unofficial acceptances since it's only two

Eh, I had sent an email a few days back inquiring when the department was planning to send out their initial offers. I got the reply to that email today. That's all.bark_muffalo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 7:01 pmAlgebro, I just want to clarify: Oregon sent you an email telling you you were on a shortlist? Or did they tell you that decisions are coming soon?
Cornell CAM said they are going to make their decisions in early February.Lisztrachmaninovfan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 7:37 pmDid anybody hear anything back from Cornell, UT Austin or Yale for their Applied Math programs? Also, I have not heard back yet from UMich's AIM program; is it safe to assume that I'm waitlisted or will be rejected soon, or are they still making offers?
Yea, the application is evaluated like any external application. It must be that they have an old low mGRE on file which they automatically attached to my application. I couldn’t retake...SKS2s17fa wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 4:23 pmI am in a similar situation.

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I have it on good authority that Oregon probably won’t be able to make as many offers as usual. I wanted to bring this up again cause I could imagine myself freaking out after getting a rejection from what’s supposed to be a safety—though I’m not saying you will be rejected! So, it’s important to remember that they may need to be more selective than normal. The reason I even found this out was that this prof had previously said I’d get into Oregon without a doubt if I applied... but that with this development, I shouldn’t be sure.Mustela nivalis wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 2:47 pmIt seems that I will be rejected from every school.

Not applying to Oregon but thank you for mentioning this. I'm sure it will ease the anxiety of a lot of people who applied there lol. People gotta realize that there is a lot of factors going on, and that is why its best to apply to many schools.asterac wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 8:26 pmI mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I have it on good authority that Oregon probably won’t be able to make as many offers as usual.

I guess the same goes for any school—sometimes there will just be invisible factors like that, and you don’t know if a result really says anything about your merit as a candidate.
Early February?? That's now!Otter320 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 8:00 pmCornell CAM said they are going to make their decisions in early February.Lisztrachmaninovfan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 7:37 pmDid anybody hear anything back from Cornell, UT Austin or Yale for their Applied Math programs?

Right there with you buddy; keep the faith! Hoping we get some good news soon!
beggingI emailed the grad program coordinator at Cornell because my application was missing an item and they posted a note. She said most notifications will go out this month, but she said that late February, so yes, we can expect to hear back this month at the very least.Otter320 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 8:00 pmCornell CAM said they are going to make their decisions in early February.Lisztrachmaninovfan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 7:37 pmDid anybody hear anything back from Cornell, UT Austin or Yale for their Applied Math programs?

True. There are many factors including faculty who go on sabbatical and can’t accept new students. Or existing PhD candidates who don’t finish their research in time so the advisors are tied up... also if it’s everyone’s safety then it sorta becomes competitive!asterac wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 8:26 pmI mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I have it on good authority that Oregon probably won’t be able to make as many offers as usual.

Yeah. Some guy from my school got into there a few years ago but after he finished his masters. I would imagine that they tend to accept students with master's degrees.
Congrats. I hope the best for you.
Lol I didn't get a rejection until just now, thought maybe I survived the wave of rejections. Oh well
I got an e-mail today saying that they are planning on admitting me, saying that it'll take 1-2 weeks before I get a formal offer.jungleshrimp wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 5:02 pmAnyone heard back from Purdue or know when they usually send out decisions?
Oh nice congrats!

If you are applying for number theory, then it is very competitive. Someone on here a few years back got into Berkeley but rejected from Emory for NT.
I'm so doomed. They did not even bother to send me a rejection
I'll just withdraw my application and suffer in silence Cyclicduck wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 5:44 pmWell Ken Ono is gone now so like who cares right?
I would advise against withdrawing your application yet. You might be waitlisted and still have a chance of getting admitted.yaskhn3 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 5:57 pmI'm so doomed. They did not even bother to send me a rejectionI'll just withdraw my application and suffer in silence
Anyone else waiting for their MIT rejection?
Here! Got rejected from 3 schools today
Lol. That was a joke. But tbh, I really don't think I'd be in their waitlist. Did anyone else not hear anything from MIT or Berkeley today, or they are just teasing me?AugmentedSeventh wrote: ↑Thu Feb 06, 2020 6:16 pmI would advise against withdrawing your application yet.

Congrats!

Nah it was for discrete mathematics. They have very strong people in discrete mathematics like Rodl.

I thought number theory was discrete math.
Ah I see Rödl does combinatorics. But he's kind of old. Also he's not Hungarian. So I wouldn't worry too much.
Your profile / posts in general look like a joke so I wouldn't blame the poster for thinking that.Cyclicduck wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 12:53 pmbahaha I can confirm they are real
so now you know
(unless you think I'm a fake too)
It's safe to assume that at least for top schools. One doesn't "survive a wave of rejections", it just means the rejection will come later.chrisps1992 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 3:13 pmIs it safe to say if you didn’t get an offer today that you are waitlisted or rejected?
After extensive efforts I fail to understand the meaning of this message. Please clarify.
