already accepted the offer from ISU

No surprises here!

Finally received my rejection! I wish they've sent me sooner so that I didn't go through this mental torture for so long. My background was in Industrial engineering (masters) but I've passed lots of statistic_related courses with top grades. My Bachelor's GPA was 3.7 (I was also the top student (first_ranked) of my graduating class), Masters GPA 3.91. I also published 4 papers and I was the first author in all of them. My last paper was published in a Q1 prestigious journal (it included statistical analysis). I had 4 very strong recommendation letters. I think my SOP and PHS was good enough. I worked on them a lot and 7 other people read and revised them. But apparently all of these were not enough for them. That's OK though. Congratulations to all who are accepted.

TTPB: I will decline the offer today. I've heard that at least three people are on the waitlist. Good Luck!

Anyone know of the chances of getting off the waitlist?

I received an interview on 27 Feb, and have no update since then. Wonder if anybody also gets interviewed at that period of time and received any updates? Dream program! Please decline if you are not going! Thanks!!

Was waitlisted a few days ago then received another email today to check the portal and saw the acceptance. Offer includes "tuition scholarship equivalent to 25% of your approved tuition costs in any quarter."
