I'm not really comfortable to state my interviewers, but my interview is scheduled for next week. I listed a few areas of research in my application (some very pure, some quite applied). I believe I am being considered for operator algebras in particular.

Just got invited for interview at Oxford!

May I ask: Who are your interviewers? When is your interview scheduled? What is your proposed field of research?

Could you maybe post a screenshot of your invitation? Feel free to censor anything you feel uncomfortable with!

official acceptance in portal

Thank you and congrats! It appears to me Berkeley is releasing decisions in multiple waves? I remember seeing someone else's acceptance somewhere a couple of days earlier

It’s very rude to say that. I have reported your post.

I don’t understand. Other ppl have even posted pictures of (unofficial) acceptance letters here?

sounds right! its a big school so not sure how that impacts logistics. suerte

[32noinweinof]

has anyone received rejections from Berkeley?

I think the acceptance you are referring to is an unofficial acceptance, so I don’t think that is true (though I would love it to be so).

not sure what hes on lol ur chilling

[sarnak]

PACM! You too? I was wondering this too, if the rejections here and on GradCafe are only for pure.

Interesting. I didn’t receive any email or update in the portal.

Did you apply to PACM or pure maths? (I think they have different timelines)

I applied for pure maths. The rejections are only for pure but for some reason, there is no update on my portal (I think it's a glitch).

Just got rejected from Washington

[ChillDude22]

Just got rejected from Washington

same, feels bad dude

[zephyr5412]

In hindsight the increase in minimal grad school stipends kinda forced the low acceptance rates this year.

[temprando]

anyone else here with no acceptances so far? ive heard from 1/17 schools and it was a rejection. Am I cooked? should I start sending emails??

No, it's the first day in February. People can hear back in March for safeties and sometimes get off waitlists in April. Also you still haven't heard back from 16 schools???

I have heard back from 3 and it's all rejections. And honestly it doesn't seem like my safeties will admit me. Seems like a second 9-0 in my life. Even Barcelona doesn't put that many bad performances.

Did anyone get an interview invitation for pure math from Oxford?

Oxford sends interviews based on research group. Different groups have different DGS so interview invitation will be sent separately.

Also I believe it's rolling.

Algebra already sent some and random system CDT as well.

Do you know about the Geometry group? I don't believe it's rolling. If you compare the Gradcafe results from the previous year, you'll find that almost everybody got interviewed at the end of January. How do you know that algebra and random systems sent out interview invitations?

Sorry I don't know about geometry. My friend got algebra and I got random system, different days but all this week.

I feel you I have applied to 18 programs and only heard back from 3. I just want one acceptance even if it's a safety school just for the peace of mind lol

[caniusemyonetime]

18 programs god damn

[iknownothing]

Hi one of them is me, first i got email for interview and one day later i got email that i was accepted, myasu was updated and admit letter was there, still no offer letter

Thank you very much for the information! I hope you get the offer letter soon and a nice TA/RA stipend. Could you help to post that if you receive those in the near future?

Sure!

Sorry about the dumb question. Did you hear back from them? An admitted student told me the visit day is Feb. 17th so I really don’t think I have any chance now.

[Summertime]

18 programs god damn

When I started looking at schools my advisor told me to apply to as many schools as I was willing to because usually, the one you pick is the one you're at till you graduate and you want to have as many options as possible. His usual recommendation is 12-20 if you're willing to and can swing it financially.

[phanpu]

I applied for 13 programs in Amerian and only got one rej now. I thought they tend to release admissions this time, maybe I'll get rejs when they complete their second rounds.

Can anyone who was admitted to UCLA PM me when the open house is supposed to be? I didn’t apply, but do go to UCLA, so want to show up to hang out with people when the open house happens.

Ignore me oops. Congrats to anyone who got into UCLA, see you guys in March! If anyone does stuff related to algebra or algebraic topology and wants to ask me any questions ab the dept feel free to hmu.

I believe that falls under the realms of financial mathematics, sadly outside my area of expertise. (Money better now that union fight for more money, but still not great, and teaching load is pretty hard).

Well, hopefully not

[fredholm.alternative]

according to gradcafe, this year's uw cohort is 1/4 the size of the previous year. i would expect something similar at all the schools whose unions won a big raise (including my ug institution, which is internally confirmed to be taking noticeably less students this year)

[Genichiro]

Any news from UCLA? It seems they sent some offer last Friday and then silenced for the whole week.

[Lilium]

Graduate School Fair
Arizona State University
Tempe campus
Feb. 24

I am applying for applied math. Don’t worry as they may send interviews while reviewing the materials.
