I got an email from Dawei Chen, the assistant chair of their graduate program

1. This was considered the strongest applicant pool they've ever seen so don't feel bad if you were rejected. JHU told me the same thing
2. They didn't see the need for any MS students due to the strong PhD pool.
3. GPA, MGRE and Verbal portion of general GRE were considered very important. I was pretty surprised about the Verbal portion being a factor but Mathematicians need to read and write advanced mathematical literature with ease.

I emailed Cornell yesterday. They responded that there is a "very long waitlist". I got no information other than that. Still waiting to hear back from Northwestern as well.
Should I assume that I’m on the waitlist of Cornell since there’re already plenty rejections out? Did they tell you that you’re on the waitlist? Not sure if I should email to ask about my status.
I'm in the same boat. Has anyone reached out to the grad chair? And/or has anyone been officially waitlisted?

I've applied to it but not heard back. I'd be surprised if I wasn't one of their top candidates, and also kind of sad because it's one of my top choices.

It is also one of my top choice. I really want to work with a Prof there

Congratulations! Did you receive an email or did you check online?

If acceptances come in as expected, then we will make no further offers.

Do you think the standard 20k deal is not a comfortable stipend for the location? I'm an international, so I don't have a very good intuition about the numbers.

Thank you for being on top of that (and thanks to the other applicants who are on top of their withdraws!).

If it's 20k for 9 months and summer support on top of that, that's not bad at all (given that you don't have a family to feed). If it's 20k for the year with maybe no summer support, then it's stretching it a little, but more than manageable. This is just my opinion based on my lifestyle. I don't go out that often but spend more money than others on certain things.
Right now at my masters program I get roughly 17k for 9 months and like 2-3k for summers, and I live pretty comfortably for the most part. And I'm in a rental house for $1200/month rent (split with my wife makes $600/month) with a dog.

I hope I am not coming off as greedy. I am doing this because I respect UIUC and all of its faculty, and I would like to go there. Instead of outright rejecting them, I'd like to give UIUC a chance to match my other offers.

There's a couple of posts on gradcafe with acceptances. I haven't heard back myself.
Personally feeling a bit depressed about all of this, I've heard back from 3/8 schools and had 2 rejections/1 unfunded admission. I guess that's to be expected: I didn't have time to prepare for MGRE and did poorly. Getting to the point where I'm just preparing to apply again in 2019 and hope I can find a programming job for a year.
