I was put on the waitlist but informed that I ranked high on that list back in February. I was notified about my admission by the advisor I interviewed with.

(1/230) Accepted out of 230 applicants as stated in email. I applied to the MS program and got into the PhD program instead because MS is self fund, no GRE. I have only a bachelors degree with shitty GPA, but my maths are all excellent, no GRE, no official publications. But I have one publication in review, one submitted and about three in preparation. None of them is in the field I applied to. Each of these projects are in different fields, from humanities to biology. I have been in touch with PI for a long time, interviewed in December and was asked to apply. I was accepted because I had a lot of practical experiences in the research field of the PI. I have accepted this offer and I am not waiting for the other programs. (2a,1r,7P )

Forgot to include gpa

American with foreign degree.

I visited the University. They offered me a stipend of $22.000 for 9 months + full tuition + academic fees paid. Great school!
