The 2016 admission season has started! Four new pure math admits to the University of Chicago on Grad Cafe.
for current and prospective graduate students in mathematics

Just out of my curiosity, how did you know this info?ghjk wrote:There is a general patten of people's profile ADMITTED to UCLA this year:) All of them have top/near-top scores on the GRE Math Subject + a 3.9+ Undergrad GPA + verbal sections > 152 (not sure if this actually matters). Same case for a guy admitted to U.Chicago.

Clearly, a lower bar for domestic applicants is set at OSU, especially in GRE Math:) OSU seems to care more about the regular GRE. The GRE Math score is too low for international, let alone other factors...

Some profiles didn't list whether they are American or not, but I remember one of them is International. U.Chicago's international admit this year has the same stats, and (I guess) some publications under their belts.Mezox wrote:All of the UCLA admissions seem to be Americans so I'm assuming I shouldn't be expecting anything yet as an International applicant either way. Still, isn't it pretty early compared to other years to send out admission results now?

The UCLA-admits I find on thegradcafe all state that they are American. Maybe I'm using the wrong filter or maybe you have a different source?ghjk wrote: Some profiles didn't list whether they are American or not, but I remember one of them is International.
Their admission deadline is December 15, so this is not strange. In fact, the Ohio State website says: "The graduate recruitment committee then reviews about 110 files in greater depth split over two rounds, one in mid January and another about a month later. This review typically leads to the admission of..." https://math.osu.edu/graduate/applyleviethai wrote:There is another admit from Ohio State on Grad Cafe, this one is different since it is today. Anybody knows what's going on?
Congrats to you!! Mind posting your stats and other credentials on the 2016 Application Thread, so that we can have some references for future applicants?felani wrote:I actually received an OSU offer today as well
Thanks! And sure thing, I'll add a post when I get a chance tomorrowCongrats to you!! Mind posting your stats and other credentials on the 2016 Application Thread, so that we can have some references for future applicants?
I think recalling that last year, UCLA sent out admissions for American and International students at seperate times so as an international student, that's what I'm hoping is happening here as well.sartrism wrote:I posted the result of U Chicago as an international student. One of my friend who is studying in U.S., but not an American, was also admitted, so I guess that the first round is over. I also applied for UCLA, but no answer yet.
Mind posting your profile? Congrats man! Great school for pure math.sartrism wrote:I posted the result of U Chicago as an international student.

I'm an international applicant to Ohio State University's pure math PhD programme. Do you think GRE Q: 170 V: 155 AWA: 3.5, MGRE: 880 is competitive enough for an international applicant to Ohio? I've always been worried that my verbal score is bit low for most colleges.ghjk wrote:Clearly, a lower bar for domestic applicants is set at OSU, especially in GRE Math:) OSU seems to care more about the regular GRE.

Congrats lobsterroll!lobsterroll wrote:I have an offer from Yale math department, pending approval from the graduate school.

Via email. They ask me if I am still interested in Yale. I guess they know other schools have released some admission results.Fw1812 wrote:Congrats lobsterroll!lobsterroll wrote:I have an offer from Yale math department, pending approval from the graduate school.
If you wouldn't mind, can you let us know when you found out?
Congrats man! Mind posting your profile to help everyone else see the hiring bar of Yale for this year?lobsterroll wrote:I have an offer from Yale math department, pending approval from the graduate school.
Almost tempted to hit the "report spam" buttonmathmonkey wrote:It seems like Stanford is starting to release admits. The admit on gradcafe has some interesting stats.
I did so, just because it may be useful for others who applied for the same school to judge their status. I personally do not believe that numerical stats will be useful neither, especially for top schools whose applicants might be almost perfect in every aspect. The more important things, in my opinion, are recs and pubs but I cannot write details on gradcafe.Ivanjam wrote:I don't understand why people post admits on GradCafe without posting their stats. The information is practically useless to anyone, without stats.
Can you post your profiles on another thread? Did you just get into Stanford?

The two responses I have received so far have been late in the day ~8pmshittyriemann wrote:What time of the day do people usually get responses?
I've seen that some schools (Harvard, UCLA, Chicago) have given responses. Do they send decisions in a single batch? Should I be almost sure that I am not admitted if I receive nothing after this time?Ivanjam wrote:Couple of MIT and Harvard admits posted on GradCafe.
MIT sent the full list for admitted students, delivering the details about the open house.Elle89 wrote:I've seen that some schools (Harvard, UCLA, Chicago) have given responses.

I just received an offer from Yale, and GradCafe has been showing that people received offers at least as early as Jan 13. So it seems they do not send in batches.Elle89 wrote:I've seen that some schools (Harvard, UCLA, Chicago) have given responses. Do they send decisions in a single batch?
