To the post of admission from Iowa State: Congratulations! Would you mind sharing when you pass the phase 1 and if you have an interview before admission?

Sad :(

No interview.

Sad...my top choice. Email to ask the status and receive a rejection.

On behalf of the academic department, I am writing in connection with your application for admission to the Master of Science in Statistical Science. The department has now carefully considered your application and supporting materials, but we are sorry to have to tell you that your application has not been successful. Application to Oxford is extremely competitive, and we are not able to offer places to all the excellent candidates who apply. Due to the high volume of applications Oxford receives, in line with University policy, we are unable to provide feedback on our reasons for rejecting or selecting candidates. If you have also applied for scholarships as listed on the application form, those applications will not be considered any further. Thank you for having considered Oxford as a place to undertake graduate work. We wish you every success with your plans for your future studies.

Thank you very much for applying to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University. I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission. As you know, the very high number of extraordinary candidates far exceeds the number of places we have in each program, and we are not able to admit many excellent candidates. We wish you every success in all your future endeavors.

It is with regret that we write to inform you that you have not been accepted for graduate study at the University of California, Berkeley. The materials you submitted with your application have been carefully reviewed by the admissions committee, but we are unable to offer you admission. The UC Berkeley campus has a strict enrollment ceiling, and we are thus very limited in the number of new students we may admit each year. The admissions committee has the difficult task of selecting students with the strongest overall records from a large pool of well-qualified applicants. Unfortunately, this may result in not being able to accept many applicants who are capable of excellent academic work. We appreciate the interest you have shown in UC Berkeley and wish you success in achieving your academic goals.

Receiving merit-based financial aid, amount unknown.

TTPB, No I was contacted by the department administrator with the offer letter attached. I hadn't contacted the department prior to that.

Dear [applicant], I regret to inform you that after evaluating a very strong cohort of applicants, the Faculty Committee on Admissions for the PhD program in Statistics is unable to offer you admission to that program. I know that this is unpleasant news. Unfortunately, admissions committees must base their decisions on materials that reduce unique individuals such as you to the components of their applications dossier. Nevertheless, I can assure you that your application received the most careful consideration, and that the committee made this decision after much deliberation. I wish you success in your future career, and thank you for having given us the opportunity to consider you for admission to Columbia.

This is NOT an interview. But I received an invitation for a visit day, is that an informal interview?

This program is under the business school at UTK
