No, I haven't heard anything about reimbursement. I need to check with professors because Mar 8 is last day before my spring break so seems like a possible midterm day.virgo wrote:Is it because of the low reimbursement?generic_username wrote:@virgo

it's for the masters though...winterman62 wrote:An Indiana admit on grad cafe...

there haven't been acceptations. How can there be wait lists ?

My best guess is that they have made preliminary decisions, but are waiting for things to clear the graduate school before they formally send offers. Waitlists need not clear the graduate school. Or maybe the Grad Cafe user emailed specifically, after they had made decisions, but before they had sent them and got a quick response.Nr wrote:That's really weirdvirgo wrote:Apparently someone has been wait listed from Cornell.

Did you apply for pure?Legendre wrote:virgo wrote:

I thought that too. There's something about the way that it was worded that seems fishy to me.Nr wrote:There is also a chance that the wait list is fake.
So, maybe we should wait for more results to be sure that Cornell has made any move at all
Have you applied to Florida State University???DiscreteGuy wrote:Nice to meet all of you guys. I decided to finally create an account so that I could come here to share in the experience/vent/join in the fun! I've applied to 12 pure math programs, and I haven't heard back from a single one yet! Gah!
I also haven't heard back from Cornell yet. After seeing this thread and gradcafe, I'd bet that very few offers have been sent.

I was notified this morning via email of my admission to Cornell for applied math. I doubt that the waitlist result is fake.

Big Cong! Did apply for applied math or pure math?
Yeah, ...GodlessQuadless wrote:Someone is/was trolling GC's results...

In his profile, (s)he says that (s)he has applied for Applied math/Operations Research, so it may not be CAM.mindreader wrote:=> It's not a surprise that arxndo was admitted given that he's from an Ivy. congrats!
I wonder when I'll hear from Cornell CAM...
Perhaps someone rejected an earlier offer that's why arxndo got an admit?
- some guy on Grad Cafe that says he scored a 630 on the Subject Test and was supposedly admitted by phone.Was told that they use the 80% to discourage mass influx of applicants, and they do not use it as a filter at all. I am living proof, but I also have great recs.
I e-mailed the grad director at UIC after I saw that post on GC.Gasquet wrote:Where did you get this information from?transfinite wrote:Some news about UIC: there is one admit on GC.

Is the user who posted the UIC admit on GC on this forum?
Could you please inform us if you get an answer from uic, if it is not private of course?transfinite wrote:I e-mailed the grad director at UIC after I saw that post on GC.Gasquet wrote:Where did you get this information from?transfinite wrote:Some news about UIC: there is one admit on GC.

my dear friend, i guess it's not nice to pressure arxndo to make his decision regarding cornell ASAP. it's a nice gesture of him to do so but it's unfair to impose it on him. i understand the agony of waiting to hear from Cornell CAM as I am in the same boat as you but arxndo can choose to wait till the deadline if he wants.Gasquet wrote:In his profile, (s)he says that (s)he has applied for Applied math/Operations Research, so it may not be CAM.mindreader wrote:=> It's not a surprise that arxndo was admitted given that he's from an Ivy. congrats!

@arxndo: If you do not plan to go to Cornell(since you have already got in NYU CAOS), please inform them as early as possible.
I didn't mean to pressure him into making a decision. I guess I didn't word it very well. What I meant was if he wanted to go to NYU, it would be nice if he informed Cornell that he doesn't intend to go there. A similar hypothetical, had I gotten into Princeton PACM, I would probably have withdrawn my other applications.mindreader wrote:my dear friend, i guess it's not nice to pressure arxndo to make his decision regarding cornell ASAP. it's a nice gesture of him to do so but it's unfair to impose it on him. i understand the agony of waiting to hear from Cornell CAM as I am in the same boat as you but arxndo can choose to wait till the deadline if he wants.Gasquet wrote:@arxndo: If you do not plan to go to Cornell(since you have already got in NYU CAOS), please inform them as early as possible.
I applied to 10 applied math programs and only got a rejection from UW (seattle).DiscreteGuy wrote: I've applied to 12 pure math programs, and I haven't heard back from a single one yet! Gah!
what about wait lists?Legendre wrote:I applied to 10 applied math programs and only got a rejection from UW (seattle).DiscreteGuy wrote: I've applied to 12 pure math programs, and I haven't heard back from a single one yet! Gah!
This does not bode well. I have a feeling they send out all the acceptance first and then the rejections much later. I applied last year and my experience is that interviews/acceptance were sent to me very early, while the schools I didn't heard from until late usually ends in rejection.
So if you're not going, please please please inform them so that us in the waitlist can have our hope in the world renewed. : )We're having a meeting later this week for our next round of admissions.
We'll have more news by late Friday afternoon, if not before,
I'm applying for pure math. My background is a little weird. I finished my BA in math with a minor in physics in 3 years and decided to do a BS in computer engineering since it would take 2 more years. I'm interested in some of the algorithmic and computational aspects of low-dimensional topology and knot theory. There seem to be people studying those kinds of things at UC Davis, Duke, and also UPenn, which I applied to too.coral wrote:Are you applying to pure math or applied math?broken_symlink wrote:I haven't heard anything from any of my schools.
