Submitted two weeks after application was open, since admission was rolling-based there could be more bias for earlier applications. Later learned that the spring 2026 cohort was about 50 people, and also the last time the program will have a spring cohort.

No interview, applied early December. Emailed program coordinator early April, they informed me that their decisions were complete on April 11th, however I received no notification until today, where I had to setup an entire separate account just to access my decision. No notice of being on a waitlist beforehand.

Domestic applicant. Received an email notification that there is a status update. This program is a long shot for me due to a lack of good theoretical grades, so I'm not surprised that I got declined.

Applied to only the phd in stats, but the chair of the MS admissions committee sent out a survey on 4/4 asking if I was open to the masters, explicitly with no funding. I replied yes. On 4/14, I received unofficial acceptance from that professor. On 4/29, I received official acceptance via an emailed link to my application status. They still haven't officially rejected me from the phd program yet, which I find amusing.

no funding

There is no funding, so I'm going to decline.

Rejection via email, in the evening central time. I'm 30 and coming from a teaching background, with a lackluster GPA, so not surprised at the rejection.

Domestic. Congrats to everyone who got in!

Unexpected. I had believed I was a strong fit for this program.
