Re: Fall 2013 Application Sweat Thread

Does anybody know when schools like Michigan or Cornell will make decisions with regards to pure math? I realize this is all speculative, of course.

We received your scores, however, I am sorry to report that your application has been rejected. I am sure that you will be admitted to a good program elsewhere. Best of luck in your future studies.
My condolences atomspatz. Hope you will have an admission from a top program coming soon. I want to ask you if you, on the way, asked about your application status. Also, was your application for pure math?atomspatz wrote:Just got a rejection from Brown in response to a scores inquiry:

I feel ya, man. I haven't heard either. Time to constantly check my e-mail every 10 seconds. : (marco wrote:Wow I have not gotten anything from NYU. I really thought I had a good chance there...Im starting to get worried (sad) again.
Thanks IIes, I'm not too disappointed about this one. My application was for pure. I didn't ask about my decision; the website reflected that they hadn't received my GRE scores, so I asked if they wanted me to resend them.IIes wrote:My condolences atomspatz.

It was relatively calm indeed. Except for the part where my dream school (NYU) sent some admits and I did not get one. That sucks.waiting512 wrote:Those schools don't tell you until they have filled up their class. They don't want to underfill their entering class because that would mean less funding the next year. Overall, though, I would call today a relatively calm admit day.
Yeah, but these people had already been basically rejected, yet the admissions committee did not inform them. I would understand if the admissions committee thought they probably weren't going to accept you but thought your application was decent enough to hold on to just in case they needed to fill in spots. However, this was not the case here.waiting512 wrote:Those schools don't tell you until they have filled up their class.

I was also really hoping for NYU although it was a long shot with my terrible GRE score. Cornell should send out admittance notifications this week so that should be exciting.marco wrote:It was relatively calm indeed.

Still hoping for the best though. It aint over till its over man! BTW I think this Friday is going to be pretty hectic! Don't you think?
I was under the impression that they haven't even sent out formal acceptances yet.virgo wrote:Yeah, but these people had already been basically rejected, yet the admissions committee did not inform them.

I just received an email from a professor in Brown saying I got in and I got lower than a 152 in verbal.rashomon wrote:Did you ever know that Brown has a cut-off in GRE general? They have cut-off 152 in verbal, and I got 150. And that's why they have declined my application!!!!! I have never seen this restriction in their website. This is really a disappointment!!!!
Good to know about Madison; I must be on the wait-list since I am neither accepted nor rejected. I may just withdraw my application now since I am 100% sure I won't go there.torelli wrote:I emailed Yale, Penn, and Madison, and was told that they won't make any more moves before their first-round admits decline their offers.
If anyone is not seriously considering any of those schools, do let them know so that they can make more offers to people who are still waiting.

All I know is that I'm going to be funded through the Henry M. Mccracken fellowship. My interests are primarily in probability, and I applied in pure math.
Okay, thanks.Thanks IIes, I'm not too disappointed about this one. My application was for pure. I didn't ask about my decision; the website reflected that they hadn't received my GRE scores, so I asked if they wanted me to resend them.
Hi torelli. By Penn do you mean Penn State U or UPenn?I emailed Yale, Penn, and Madison (all for pure math), and was told that they won't make any more moves before their first-round admits decline their offers.

Oh...can anyone give opinion whether most(?) grad schools admit domestic and internatonal students at the same time? Is it fine to assume some departments first invite domestic applicants for open house and make decisions afterwards with the admission for internationals later on? I appreciate your tolerance for a newbie poster.torelli wrote:Iles: I meant UPenn.
tell me about it.... the day (US time) hasn't even started yet for the schools i applied to and i am already checking my emailsananelan wrote:tired of checking e-mails and websites for every 15 minutes...
I was feeling that too but was not certain. That will support the guess that many of the schools that have already given out offers(as seen in gradcafe) have already made their, sort of, first round of offers.math_applicant wrote:@Iles: for many schools i applied to, they released decisions for both domestic and international students around the same time (Ohio, Wisconsin, Northwestern, Texas Austin), i am not sure about other schools though.
Is it considered in poor taste to email the Director of Graduate studies at a program to ask for an update on the status of one's application?Langlands wrote:Rejected by Brown (pure). I emailed the Director of Graduate studies after seeing the messages on gradcafe. I didn't feel like stringing out the wait...
Unless the deadline for the application had only just passed I don't think its in poor taste. I've done it for a few programs (just asking if they had made a decision and if not, when they expect to) and have received brief responses - which is fine since I'm sure they receives lots of similar emails - of which all of them answered my questions and none said I shouldn't have emailed them.is2718 wrote:Is it considered in poor taste to email the Director of Graduate studies at a program to ask for an update on the status of one's application?Langlands wrote:Rejected by Brown (pure).

I just emailed Berkeley, cannot wait anymore.Manyfolds wrote:Do we think Berkeley is done admitting people?
Congrats!!! Thanks for letting us know. This puts to rest a lot of speculations.apollo wrote:I posted my acceptance to Brown on thegradcafe and I was notified last night by an official email.
