Sorry autocorrect, I meant accepted!

I just got an email saying I was excepted! Check your emails!

Well, since I was just working on some statistics hw, I thought I would make an estimate about the probability that no one on here (assuming they interviewed) got accepted. This appears to be a binomial distribution. I going to assume that there are at least 10 people on this forum who interviewed and haven't heard anything. I am also going to guess that about 80 people interviewed. I didn't count them, but that is a rough calculation based on how many spots per day they had, and how many days they interviewed (I actually think it was less than this, but that's okay, it makes this calculation conservative). So, the number of trials would be 10 (the number of people interviewed awaiting a decision) and the probability of success would me 32 (the number of spots in the MS program) / 80 = 0.4. So, using the binomial formula (10 Choose 0)(0.4)^0(0.6)^10, we have the probability that none of the 10 were accepted is equal to 0.006, or 0.6%! So, very very unlikely! even if they interviewed 100 people, the probably that none of us gets accepted is still 0.02 or 2%! So, I would have to agree that, unless until we hear something official, it is most likely that they haven't sent out acceptance letters yet. Or, they found out who we all are and got annoyed about all our questions, and decided to not accept any of us! (I am of course just joking about that last point!) Anyway, I suppose I should go back to my real homework now, and please chose to ignore all of this, I am just in the dark as all of you.

Did anybody here get accepted?

I'm going to guess then that if we didn't get an email this am, we were not accepted. (I don't know that! Just my guess)

A27RN, could you clarify your comments, please. Did you hear from the program concerning an admission decision? And if so, when and how did you hear from them? Email? Snail-mail? Carrier-pigeon?

I was just about ask the same thing! I don't think anyone has heard anything yet? But...maybe you all know something that I don't?

Just the sound of silence.

Yea nothing. It's getting a bit frustrating, to be honest.

Anybody hear anything today?
