Got an acceptance from Purdue, and no word from UMich. I know some people have been interviewed and accepted to UMich though. No idea about Texas A&M.

Undergrad Institution:
Small state school
Major(s):
Math- Probability/Stats and Data Science dual concentration
Minor(s):
None
GPA:
3.9
Math GPA:
3.8
Type of Student:
Domestic white female

GRE Revised General Test:
Didn't take
GRE Subject Test in Mathematics:
Didn't take

Program Applying:
Applied math PhD, computational math track

Research Experience:
Two years part time research in biostats/optimization/data processing through my school. Three presentations at small local symposiums. Did an undergraduate senior thesis on an application of non-linear programming for honors.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
Graduated summa cum laude from dept and "with distinction" from school, some semesters dean's list when I met the minimum credit requirements lol, a couple small competitive research grants within my school
Pertinent Activities or Jobs:
TAed in abstract math for a semester.
Math Courses Taken:
All the usual ones plus heavy focus on data sciency things like probabilistic modeling, applied linear regression, data wrangling and visualization etc. Only a handful of grad-level classes. Since I didn't originally plan on grad school, I finished as fast as I could with the bare minimum of credits, so there are some glaring gaps in my coursework like ODEs/PDEs and applied analysis
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help:
I was a non-trad undergrad and worked full time in a semi-related field while I finished my BS, which some people seemed to find interesting hah. Two of my recommenders I've worked very closely with for two plus years and I feel like I had super strong letters from them, even though they aren't famous or anything.
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:
I made an attempt at undergrad in English a wayyyyyy long time ago and did pretty well for a few years until my first term of senior year when I crashed and burned due to mental health issues. So my "full permanent record" includes a semester of straight Fs in like 2008 :? On the plus side, I feel like it isn't very common to switch from English to Math?

Applying to Where:
CU Boulder - My one and only app... Accepted 2/13! Full funding plus summer grant. Hooray! :D

I am stuck in-state and considered applying to more schools, but Boulder was by far the best fit and everything else just felt like a waste of time and money. I'm SO STOKED my gamble paid off. Really looking forward to visit days next week and getting to know some profs better.

Ok, that's pretty sick ngl. Working full time plus finishing up a math BS after switching from English, damn. And then of course...

Congrats on the acceptance! I think that makes you the first person I've seen that didn't receive a single rejection. The enthusiasm on display in your post is honestly getting me pumped as well. I got accepted to UCSB which I'm super excited for, and somehow my excitement levels tripled just from the second-hand vibes. Thanks for the dose of sheer exuberance c:

Undergrad: Small but good liberal arts in the Midwest
Major(s): Mathematics and History
Cumulative GPA: 3.66
Math GPA: 3.3 (Solid but could be better)
History GPA: 4.0
Upper Division Math GPA: 3.57

Helpful facts: I have taken every pure math class offered by my university and I have strong letters of rec from 4 faculty who all know me well, like me, and who I have known for years.

Research/Interests: I did a small research project on Arms Race Modeling in my Differential Equations class and I have two summers of history research and have presented my history findings at a university-run research symposium. I am really interested in finding intersections between seemingly unrelated fields such as mathematics and history. That is something I want to do in future research.

I am trying to start with a funded or unfunded master's that I plan on doing well in so that I can get into a solid PhD program later on.

Applications (All Master's programs):

University of Memphis (Applied Math): Accepted on 12/13/2022 :D (Super cool people in the department including some famous math profs. My first acceptance and a huge relief) All you need is one acceptance in order for it to be a success!

Montana State University (Pure Math): Applied in November of 2022, Rejected on 2/10/2023 (Kind of saw it coming as people were posting decisions on GradCafe before I got anything, however, I was still surprised as two of my letter of recs got their PhD's in the program.) :(

University of Hawaii at Manoa (Pure Math): Applied on 12/13/2022, I am under the suspicion that I have been waitlisted as offers are usually sent out in the last week of Feb but I haven't gotten a rejection yet. I will contact them tomorrow and find out my status.

San Diego State University (Pure Math): Accepted on 03/28/2023 Really like this department and the research they are doing!

If anyone knows anything about UH Manoa feel free to DM me. I would greatly appreciate it!

Undergrad Institution:
Reputable State School
Major(s):
Mathematics (Pure)
Minor(s):
Philosophy
GPA:
3.5
Math GPA:
3.75
Grad Institution:
Same School as Undegrad
Grad Major(s):
Mathematics (Pure)
Grad GPA:
3.4
Type of Student:
Domestic, white male

GRE Revised General Test:
Didn't take
GRE Subject Test in Mathematics:
Didn't take

Program Applying:
Mathematics (Pure)

Research Experience:
Not much of note here. I did a small poster for a senior “thesis” on chaos theory and topology during undergrad. I was starting my masters thesis on the Andrews-Curtis Conjecture, but had burnt out from academia at that point and took an “industry” job for a year at a fancy big dollar tech company. Finished my masters with a comprehensive exam when I decided to leave that job after COVID.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
Graduated cum laude undegrad. Received a small scholarship from the math department a few times. Made the deans list a few times.
Pertinent Activities or Jobs:
I tutored for my undergraduate/graduate institution for several years while getting my degrees and also taught courses as part of my TA funding package when I was doing my masters. I currently teach full-time as a math instructor at a community college.
Math Courses Taken:
This would be a pretty long list, but generally I covered: discrete mathematics, set theory, logic, analysis, calculus, diff eq, linear algebra, topology, abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, probability and statistics, time series analysis. Also took some math education courses during my masters because I wanted to learn skills related to actually teaching math.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help:
I’m not a traditional applicant (at this point) for PhD programs, but I think my teaching experience is my main selling point.
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:
I secured three strong letters from reputable professors at my undergrad institution.

Applying to Where:
Stanford — Officially rejected 2/10/2023
UC Riverside — Unofficially rejected/waitlisted 02/28/2023
UC Irvine — Officially rejected 3/13/2023

GRE Subject Test in Mathematics: None
M: 780 (72%)

TOEFL Score: (xx = Rxx/Lxx/Sxx/Wxx) (if applicable)

Program Applying: Pure Math (Interest in Number Theory)

Research Experience: Wrote 25 page research paper in representation theory on Brauer-Fowler theorem. Not original research, but equivalent to a masters thesis. Did REU as undergraduate, no publication.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Highest Distinction in Mathematics (undergraduate). Cum Laude, Deans List all semesters (undergraduate)
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Adjunct math professor at local 4 year college for 2.5 years. Taught statistics, probability (with calculus), calculus 1 and 2 for math majors. Currently teaching Statistics and Calc 1 with applications. Also have 4+ years of tutoring work with company (for SAT, homework help, etc). Graduate teaching assistant for over 3 years. TA for abstract algebra, calc 1, calc 2. Grader for linear algebra, differential equations. Abstract algebra TA as an undergraduate.
Math Courses Taken: Graduate level: Abstract algebra, commutative algebra, algebraic number theory, linear algebra, representation theory, measure theory, complex analysis, topology, algebraic topology, logic. Undergraduate Level: Set theory, differential geometry, combinatorics, probability.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: Passed 5 qualifying exams (1 more than necessary) while in previous PhD program. These are in algebra, linear algebra, topology, real analysis, complex analysis. I also have a solid programming/computer science background (python, java, machine learning, algorithms, data structures, theory of computation). Also, I have taken 2 graduate classes (and am currently enrolled in two for the spring) as a non-degree student at solid math universities (one top 10 school). Got A+s in both classes during the fall and got recommendation letters from these professors. Both should be very strong, however, the professor in one of the classes did not read my 25 page research paper for his class (minimum requirement was 5 pages, but I went above and beyond). I believe he at least scanned through it though (and I got a perfect score from the TA grader). I also have a recommendation from chair of the department at the local college where I teach.

Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I was in a PhD program for 3.5 years, but despite having a successful first two years, completing all qualifying exams, because of personal issues (mental health related), I quit with my masters, failing 2 courses in my last year. (stopped going to class). In my SOP I address this (I don't mention the mental health aspect). I talk about how I've grown personally in the last 6 years. I got rejected from all 18 schools applied to last year. But this is before my new classes and recommendations. I've also improved by SOP substantially (I believe by not going into the mental health details). I also did the Gres, and used this for some schools, though I don't know how much this will help (hopefully not hurt).

I have held out on doing this for so long but I think it's time to write up my own thingy here.

Undergrad Institution: Well known, not ivy, not amazing for math research but not bad either (though my advisor has told me that he knows of no one who has gotten into a T10 program from this institution in the last 15 years :(). Known for grade deflation
Majors: Double majored in math and physics
GPA: 3.83
Math GPA: 4.0
Type of student Domestic White Male


GRE Did not take

Program Applying: Pure Math, mainly focused on geometry and mathematical physics

Research Experience: Two research projects in physics, no publications, writing an honours thesis on the geometry of gauge theory that is essentially a textbook (currently sits at 180 pages)

Math Courses Taken: Multi, Odes, Linear Algebra I and II, Differential Geometry of curves and surfaces, discrete maths, Real Analysis I/II.
Graduate Courses Taken: Grad QM I and II, Grad EM, Quantum Field Theory I and II, Mathematical Physics, Differential topology I and II, Graduate Algebra I and II, Topics in Geometry (I suspect my lack of a complex analysis course, and my heavier slant towards physics is hurting me mildly here)
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: 2 of my letters of recommendation should be very strong, another two should be good. I have given talks on gauge theory, and Yang-Mills theory in both the physics and math departments as well.

Stony Brook: Rejected (this one was also painful. I got hopeful when I wasn't in the first round of rejections)
Washington: Rejected
Princeton: Rejected
UT Austin:
Oregon State
University of OregonAccepted!
UPittAccepted! Rejected Offer
NC StateAccepted! Rejected Offer
Cambridge Part ThreeAwaiting approval by PAO. Acceptance! Most likely will attend if Stony Brook doesn't work out. (I have been told that this is a good thing so we shall see at least). It was a good sign! If you get the awaiting approval by PAO, and don't here anything for longer than two weeks, email them and they might send an official offer. That's what I did.
If I go for the masters at cambridge, and try and apply again, anyone have any advice for what I can do to make myself look better in another round of apps?

Undergrad Institution: Domestic Large University, top 30 in usnews.com rankings
Major(s): Mathematics
Minor(s): Philosophy, potentially Spanish too, though I mostly just mentioned Philosophy and proficiency in Spanish
GPA: 3.67
Math GPA: 3.47
Type of Student: Domestic Male, not minority

GRE Revised General Test: Yes
Q: 165 (81%)
V: 166 (97%)
W: 4.5 (79%)
GRE Subject Test in Mathematics: Yes, I accidentally chose the free score sends and sent them to the schools marked with a double asterisk (**). Otherwise, I pretty much never brought it up or used it in my applications.
M: 590 (33%)

TOEFL Score: N/A

Program Applying: Pure Math

Research Experience: I have partaken in two different research projects, one through a program at my university, in Quantum Information Theory, and another through a program without a home university, in Mathematical Logic. The first was about 5 months long and I presented at my university (poster session), and the second was about 6 months long and I presented at a seminar at an undergrad seminar at my university, and then later elsewhere at a big Math conference.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: I plan to graduate with high distinction from the Math department.
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Not much officially (some tutoring, some computational work), but I made mention of some unofficial Math teaching.
Math Courses Taken: (Graduate-level) Topology, (Undergraduate-level) Complex Analysis, Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra 1 and 2, Independent study in Topology, Topology and Set Theory, Abstract Linear Algebra, Introductory CS course (Java), Calculus sequence.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: One of my recommenders is a Dean for the college. Math Logic is a relatively small discipline, and one of my recommenders knows many of the people in it.
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: I did attend a workshop at ND that I really enjoyed and was in my statement. Also, I had stuff uploaded to a couple of schools after the application deadline (which was acceptable, but might not be considered if done too late), but I suspect it would have had an impact on practically one or (more likely, I think,) none of them.

Safety:

Remarks: My indicated areas of interest were: #1 Mathematical Logic, #2 Topology, #3 Combinatorics. The school ranking was based on US News and QS World as well as some of my own estimation and that of another. My top preferred schools were #1 Notre Dame, #2 UIC, #3 CUNY or Rutgers.

My advice: (1) Do not use the GRE free score sends, especially for the Math GRE Subject Test! Wait to see your scores, and then decide whether to send them. Many schools, whether due to Covid or loss of interest in GRE results, don't seem to require it. (2) From what I've heard, having research papers seems much less important than having had research experience and knowing what you enjoyed about the experience, and maybe also any skills you learned that would be important for a Mathematician. (3) Honestly, regardless of whether you get into a top tier school or even your first choice, you're truly amazing. Maybe it would do us some good, especially when we might be worried about the future of our journeys, to take a moment to be in awe of our lives and the lives of others.
Hey man, your profile is very similar to mine as well as our research interests. I have to say that when I conducted my usual anxiety riddled perusing of this forum today and saw that you were accepted to Illinois Chicago, I felt genuinely excited for you!

Congratulations, that's a fantastic school and I hope our paths cross at some point!! (I'm sure they will as logic is a niche group)

Not much of note here. I did a small poster for a senior “thesis” on chaos theory and topology during undergrad. I was starting my masters thesis on the Andrews-Curtis Conjecture, but had burnt out from academia at that point and took an “industry” job for a year at a fancy big dollar tech company. Finished my masters with a comprehensive exam when I decided to leave that job after COVID.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions:
Graduated cum laude undegrad. Received a small scholarship from the math department a few times. Made the deans list a few times.
Pertinent Activities or Jobs:
I tutored for my undergraduate/graduate institution for several years while getting my degrees and also taught courses as part of my TA funding package when I was doing my masters. I currently teach full-time as a math instructor at a community college.
Math Courses Taken:
This would be a pretty long list, but generally I covered: discrete mathematics, set theory, logic, analysis, calculus, diff eq, linear algebra, topology, abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, probability and statistics, time series analysis. Also took some math education courses during my masters because I wanted to learn skills related to actually teaching math.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help:
I’m not a traditional applicant (at this point) for PhD programs, but I think my teaching experience is my main selling point.
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter:
I secured three strong letters from reputable professors at my undergrad institution.

Applying to Where:
Stanford — Officially rejected 2/10/2023
UC Riverside — Unofficially rejected/waitlisted 02/28/2023
UC Irvine — Applied 12/01/2022
UC San Diego — Officially rejected 3/08/2023
Edited with update — received rejection from UCSD today. Best of luck to all others.

Might as well put this up.

Undergrad: Top UK university for maths
Masters: Part III maths at Cambridge
Major(s): Mathematics (technically "Pure Mathematics" at Cambridge)
Minor(s): N/A
GPA: High(?) First Class in my undergrad
Type of Student: International (UK) White Male

GRE Revised General Test: Not taking, not required at any school I've applied to
GRE Subject Test in Mathematics: Ditto

Program Applying: PhD Math, looking to specialise in functional analysis or something closely related (eg. spectral theory, harmonic analysis on locally compact groups, etc.)

Research Experience: Not really research per se but did a project on Leray-Hopf solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations as part of my undergrad (not original, more of a survey). Doing Part III essay on computational spectral theory.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: None since high school (one of the downsides of small fish big pond)
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: I wrote much of ProofWiki's coverage of functional analysis and measure theory. Competed in a small inter-university integration competition this year and plan on helping coordinate next year's.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: My coursework is probably the strongest thing about my application. (if it even matters much) Grad-level courses would be three courses in functional analysis going up to C* algebras & Borel functional calculus and another course "Unbounded Operators and Semigroups", manifolds, analytic theory of PDEs, non-linear analysis, commutative algebra, measure theory, 2x measure-theoretic probability, stochastic calculus. Otherwise decent mix of undergrad courses, courses in groups/rings, linear algebra, real/complex/multivariable analysis, point-set topology, basic non-Euclidean geometry, number theory, set theory, logic and a first course in undergrad statistics. My last year was slightly disappointing (had issues with insomnia around exams) with a few 2:1s but still did fairly well. (my overall grade is mid 80s) I'm hoping two of my letters will be glowing, the third might be a bit flat.
Any Other Info That Shows Up On Your App and Might Matter: Unsure, both my undergrad and masters are big names. Shouldn't mean much but might do.

Purdue - accepted 10/02 with $21,689.00 funding in Y1 + $1,689.00 medical - fees, declined
UW Madison - rejected 20/02 - disappointing, apparently 600 applicants. Probably the first rejection I'm disappointed with.
Texas A&M - Howdy portal says "admission offered" but nothing on funding 15/02 (worth noting for future years: I didn't submit a GRE score despite being "required" on the website), official offer 22/02, declined
Virginia - unofficial acceptance 18/02, official offer 20/02 with $24k funding + $6k possible summer support, declined

27/01: I will likely just attend Cambridge since I'm quite enthusiastic about the project, and it's very broad so I have very little risk of getting stuck on something I don't like. (I can do pretty much anything in applied analysis) First decision too, bit stunned.

29/01: I decided I will attend these interviews, just in case a random act of God occurs before I get an official notification. Also gives me some interview experience.
Hey, congratulations on all your offers. Did u apply to Cambridge’s PhD program or MASt?

I have held out on doing this for so long but I think it's time to write up my own thingy here.

Undergrad Institution: Well known, not ivy, not amazing for math research but not bad either (though my advisor has told me that he knows of no one who has gotten into a T10 program from this institution in the last 15 years :(). Known for grade deflation
Majors: Double majored in math and physics
GPA: 3.83
Math GPA: 4.0
Type of student Domestic White Male


GRE Did not take

Program Applying: Pure Math, mainly focused on geometry and mathematical physics

Research Experience: Two research projects in physics, no publications, writing an honours thesis on the geometry of gauge theory that is essentially a textbook (currently sits at 180 pages)

Math Courses Taken: Multi, Odes, Linear Algebra I and II, Differential Geometry of curves and surfaces, discrete maths, Real Analysis I/II.
Graduate Courses Taken: Grad QM I and II, Grad EM, Quantum Field Theory I and II, Mathematical Physics, Differential topology I and II, Graduate Algebra I and II, Topics in Geometry (I suspect my lack of a complex analysis course, and my heavier slant towards physics is hurting me mildly here)
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: 2 of my letters of recommendation should be very strong, another two should be good. I have given talks on gauge theory, and Yang-Mills theory in both the physics and math departments as well.

Applying to where: (in no particular order)
Harvard: Rejected
Caltech: Rejected
UCLA: Rejected
Duke: No interview (yet at least)
UPenn: No Open House Invite
Oxford: No interview (yet at least) rejected
UC Berkely: Rejected (this one hurt me :cry: )

UPittAccepted! Rejected Offer
NC StateAccepted! Rejected Offer
Cambridge Part ThreeAwaiting approval by PAO. Acceptance! Most likely will attend if Stony Brook doesn't work out. (I have been told that this is a good thing so we shall see at least). It was a good sign! If you get the awaiting approval by PAO, and don't here anything for longer than two weeks, email them and they might send an official offer. That's what I did.

Hey man, your profile is very similar to mine as well as our research interests. I have to say that when I conducted my usual anxiety riddled perusing of this forum today and saw that you were accepted to Illinois Chicago, I felt genuinely excited for you!

Congratulations, that's a fantastic school and I hope our paths cross at some point!! (I'm sure they will as logic is a niche group)
Thanks very much, and I agree, hopefully we do cross paths again. And I hope you hear back some good things from your schools too!

Someone heard anything from university of Arizona? I passed two interviews and then radio silence now. :?: I contacted a professor, and he told me my interviews were great, but no decision was made yet. He told me it could take up to few weeks. Looks like i got waitlisted, right?

Upd: Got officially waitlisted. So, if you received an offer, but do not plan to go please decline.

I received an email to check my application portal by uPenn and the decision letter was a rejection. From other communication about my waitlist status with professors, I think it might be a mistake. I was told that they would double check and get back to me.



EDIT: the rejection was a mistake and my application status was put back to "waitlist"

Current Institution: Bonn (master's)
Major(s): Mathematics
Area(s): Probability and stochastic analysis
Current (Math) GPA: 1.2 in German scale; approximately 3.9 in US scale
Type of Student: Asian Male

Undergrad Institution: Top3 German University
Exchange Institution: Top 2 Chinese University (GPA not very good)
Major(s): Mathematics (rather pure, wrote a thesis in noncommutative algebra)
Minor(s): Economics
GPA: 1.2 in German scale; approximately 3.9 in US scale
Math GPA: maybe slightly better

NO GRE
TOEFL Score: (106 = R29/L30/S23/W24)

Program Applying: Math/Applied Math/Statistics/Math Finance (I am mostly interested in financial math but also applied to some math programs in pure stochastic analysis. But based on my written-in-3-days SOP, I do not believe any of them will accept me. :D )

Research Experience: Bachelor's Thesis (a survey-type paper, surely not published); 5 graduate-level seminars.
Awards/Honors/Recognitions: Never heard about them
Pertinent Activities or Jobs: Tutor for 1.5 years (for Analysis I, Stochastic Processes and Markov Processes) (weekly working time: 8 hours)
Math Courses Taken: Undergraduate level courses in every area of mathematics except for discrete mathematics; (homological, commutative and noncommutative) Algebra, Classical Algebraic Geometry, Lie Algebras and their representations; Topologies (covered the Allan Hatcher book); basic and advanced courses based on Ito Calculus, Markov Processes, Convergence of MP and MCMC; Graduate seminars on group cohomology, mixing times, rough paths, regularity structures and stochastic control.
Any Miscellaneous Points that Might Help: I somehow started to prepare for the application too late (around the end of October) (Big Big MISTAKE!). Thus, I missed several interesting programs that are not in Math/Stat Department, my reference letters are relatively weak and my SOP was written in quite a hurry. In particular, I did not get reference letters from my previous bachelor's thesis supervisor or my current master's thesis supervisor (who is definitely a big name), which should be a huge huge disadvantage.

Applying to Where: (Order roughly corresponds to my preference/interest)
Michigan - AIM Pending
CMU - Mathematics Pending
GaTech - Mathematics Rejected on 3.29
UT-Austin - Mathematics Pending
UCLA - Mathematics Rejected on 2.2
UCSB - Stat & Applied Probability Admitted on 2.9
Stony Brook - Applied Math & Stat Admitted on 3.15
BU - Mathematical Finance Admitted on 2.9
Rutgers - Mathematics Rejected by inquiry
Purdue - Mathematics Rejected quite early
NCSU - Applied Math Admitted on 3.8
Utah - Mathematics Rejected quite early
FSU - Financial Math Admitted on 2.15 / declined
UConn - Mathematics Pending / will be declining
Iowa SU - Applied Math Admitted on 2.15 / declined


Being almost in April, I think my chances for schools above UCSB are relatively low since I know they have already sent out their first (several) rounds of admissions. But I do not really dare to email them for an update on my application status. I will have my fingers crossed in the next three weeks. :) Honestly, I am not quite satisfied with the results so far based on my academic background. But maybe that is just God's plan such that I can enjoy the beaches in California in the next 4-5 years. :)

Undergrad: Small but good liberal arts in the Midwest
Major(s): Mathematics and History
Cumulative GPA: 3.66
Math GPA: 3.3 (Solid but could be better)
History GPA: 4.0
Upper Division Math GPA: 3.57

Helpful facts: I have taken every pure math class offered by my university and I have strong letters of rec from 4 faculty who all know me well, like me, and who I have known for years.

Research/Interests: I did a small research project on Arms Race Modeling in my Differential Equations class and I have two summers of history research and have presented my history findings at a university-run research symposium. I am really interested in finding intersections between seemingly unrelated fields such as mathematics and history. That is something I want to do in future research.

I am trying to start with a funded or unfunded master's that I plan on doing well in so that I can get into a solid PhD program later on.

Applications (All Master's programs):

University of Memphis (Applied Math): Accepted on 12/13/2022 :D (Super cool people in the department including some famous math profs. My first acceptance and a huge relief) All you need is one acceptance in order for it to be a success!

Montana State University (Pure Math): Applied in November of 2022, Rejected on 2/10/2023 (Kind of saw it coming as people were posting decisions on GradCafe before I got anything, however, I was still surprised as two of my letter of recs got their PhD's in the program.) :(

University of Hawaii at Manoa (Pure Math): Applied on 12/13/2022, Never heard back from this program. I assume that they either waitlisted or rejected me. Not sure what happened here.

San Diego State University (Pure Math): Accepted on 03/28/2023 Really like this department and the research they are doing!

If anyone knows anything about UH Manoa feel free to DM me. I would greatly appreciate it!

If any of you got an admitted to JHU and/or Penn or got put on their waitlist, and if you know that you won't attend, please decline your offer/withdraw from the waitlist. It could change someone's life (my life, I am talking about myself here).

Hey, If you have an offer or waitlist from Minnesota, Purdue, Carnegie Mellon, or UNC Chapel Hill and you are not planning to attend please please decline your offers. Now that there are only two days I am literally running out of time. :( :( :(
