Graduate School Admission Results

The application season seems to be over for me. I made 20 applications and received 5 acceptances. There are two applications that have not been announced so far, but the ones I have received acceptance offers are better than the ones that have not been announced. I wish success to everyone who is waiting for news. My advice to those who will apply next year is not to send an e-mail to only one professor when you apply. Notify all the professors in your field that you have applied by sending an e-mail. I didn't do this when I was applying, but I have seen from those who have been accepted from universities such as Harvard and Princeton that they present projects that they will not actually work on but will be of interest to the department. In this way, you can turn to projects that you will not actually work on, but that will attract the department's attention more and increase your chances of getting accepted. Especially gender is one of these topics...

We regret to inform you that the Admissions Committee was unable to recommend acceptance of your application. The admission application system will be updated shortly with this result. We receive a much greater number of strong applications than we can accept. Most successful applicants far exceed our minimum requirements. All applications are reviewed carefully and ranked. While we cannot provide specific feedback about applications, we can tell you that the key factors the Admissions Committee looks for in applicants are: · Does the applicant have the quantitative training required to succeed in our highly methodological program? · Is their academic performance strong overall? · Is the personal statement clear and thoughtful; does it show an understanding of biostatistical research; has the applicant looked at our program requirements and shown how our program aligns with their career goals? · Are the letters of reference excellent? We would like to thank you for your interest in our program and for giving us the opportunity to consider your application. We wish you the best in your future endeavours.

Has anybody received admit for UMN CS PhD? Its almost march now? Thanks for answering.

Got a long but generalized email about possible reasons for rejection, likely because my research ideas weren't super compatible with the faculty

The cycle is almost over--I have some wonderful options, so I'm not concerned about this rejection. (Apologies for the previous notice that says I was accepted--I was sloppy filling out the form.)

Does anyone with an offer or a waitlist plan on rejecting ? Please let me know

Was Under Grad School review for almost 2 weeks, and got notified by email that a decision had been made
