I agree, UNC stat sucks. The director Ji and the staff Christine never, ever response. Indeed they don't have an ms committee, the director is in charge of everything.

I was an applicant of MS in Statistics at UNC-CH two years ago (I can only choose Fall 2014, actually it is Fall 2013). From March to May, I sent several emails to the director (Ji) for application status inquiry, but he never replied. At last, in mid-June, I received a rejection letter from their department, when I had got everything ready for attending another institution. Maybe a great approach to get a huge amount of money is to create a virtual department/program website and writes as if it really exists. There is no need to hire a staff, an admissions director, or professors. Just create some introductions and photos of people, as well as e-mail addresses and phone numbers. No replies, no contacting, no update, no decision, no admission, but with application fees left behind.

Just wanted to let everyone who wants to apply to stat program know(especially masters): Do not waste your time and money on UNC's stat program(INSTORE is different). The admissions guy(and their staff) never replies email and more than half of the masters students are come from a university that he has connection with. He will retire soon tho.

Does Unc plan to admit master students this year?

UNC is way too slow. Given the fact that most stat applicants are int'l, the immigration stuff also takes time. I just paid the deposit to Cornell and won't wait for UNC.

Finally received an email from the staff, saying INSTORE is finished, while OR and STAT aren't. Won't wait and will be attending UCSB.

I paid 100 bucks but cannot even receive a reply from the one responsible for admissions questions???

I tried to call the "student service" lady at 919-962-2307, and no one answered. OMG, is it a real department? I know that UNC stat sucks and going to toilet within these years due to poor faculty tho.

Same here. Does anyone know what UNC statistics is doing? Are they SO busy?

Unc sucks, its stat program is one of a few who never response.

If you applied to UNC's ms in statistics program, I suggest you give up. They don't reply and nobody knows the status.

Still waiting as well I thought I should assume rejection at this point but we'll see

Anyone else still waiting to hear, or should I assume no response = no acceptance at this point?

Same here. But I gave up for waiting. It's 4/10 now and I had to make decisions to the programs that I was admitted to.

I heard that the department doesn't care its stat masters program. But in the same time it is one of the most popular stat masters program in terms of the amount of application received(last year they received 400 ms application and only made

Got an email from the staff saying offers will be out by tomorrow. Anyone heard anything about the statistics program(not the OR or INSTORE)?

I am sure that the c_keat is active, she just simply doesn't want to reply. Stat admissions people at UNC are mean.

No news either, I will be accepting Cornell MPS.
