Graduate School Admission Results

Email to check the portal

Was offered admission (with funding ) into the ECE department. Which I turned down earlier so this was expected.

For those who got rejected by all, you were me last year. What I did was asking a professor in my school do continue to do research after graduation (without paid) and reapply next year, so that you will have a stronger background in research. And I highly recommend the book "Getting in to Grad School for Physics", which I didn't read for the first year and I regret it.

It is almost the end of April and I still have not heard back from this program. Does anyone have a clue on the timeline they are working with? Will appreciate any info!

I presented my research at two research conferences where I showed statistical skills such as machine learning and regressions. My undergraduate had coursework with Python, SAS, SQL, Tableau, SPSS, and R. I also had two internships, one for Wells Fargo and the other for USAA.

Ignore the waitlist. Anyone receiving the admissions decisions?

Ignore wl. Does anyone have any clue when they'll release results or do we assume reject by now? Has anyone received interviews, if so did the PoI share any info? [intl students mainly]

To the person who said they made the Facebook page. I cannot search it. Is it for in-person Fall 2021 Davie/Fort Lauderdale campus?

Anyone know if they will be sending out more offers, or does anyone know if anyone has declined recently?

An insider, who was "Interviewed" and "Near the top of the waitlist". Becca once told me that the size of the waitlist is 50, and 25 are defined as "near the top". I also just received the "April 12 decision" email, and I believe at least 20 received this email. It means nothing. They are disgraceful.

Accepted from the waitlist :)

Applied 7. rejection in 4, 3 still waiting. Things not looking good this season.

My GPA was mediocre/below average tbh and I had a few C's in my record (which I elaborated in my Statement of Purpose), but I think what made my application strong was not only my high GRE quantitative score, but a relatively strong background related to Statistics and Data Science: while I did have C's in my record (and a couple were major-related as a Computer Science major), I had strong grades in my computational/math courses especially the ones essential to Statistics and Data Science (I'm also a math major as well so I definitely took a good amount of computational/math courses). Also, despite my mediocre/below average GPA, my grades improved every semester since fall of junior year up until I applied for the program, so that helps. I also had a strong programming background, especially being a Computer Science major, and did research and independent study opportunities related to Statistics and Data Science (and I discussed about them in-depth in my Statement of Purpose) as well with a couple of personal side projects. I wouldn't say that I'm an expert or outstanding in Statistics and Data Science yet (more like beginner to intermediate level), but I at least had some sort of foundation or sufficient-enough background for me to somehow stand out in my application. I think the professors and my independent study mentor, who I asked to write letter of recommendations for me, like me enough to give me strong letters of recommendations (I couldn't see since I waived my rights for all of them), so that definitely helps. I will not be attending there due to location and even high price (tuition and travel), but I hope what I have here helps for future applicants. :)

no funding :(

had a phone call too about interest in attending
