    pipie my impression was that MASS is competitive and they don't accept whoever applies on a first come first serve basis (they actually reject a lot of people). When were you accepted pipie because I didn't know they made any official offers yet? I received an e-mail stating that they are...

    To those of you that applied to BYU they have already sent out their acceptance offers. If you haven't heard from them yet you probably either been rejected or placed in their second round pick.

    JCVD what kind of mathematical background did you have when you were accepted into the Cornell REU and what do you believe made your application considerably stronger than the rest of the applicants? I know Cornell's REU is difficult to get accepted into.

    Owlpride, I was curious what kind of mathematical background do you have? Do you have any publications or previous research experiences? What do you feel like made your application strong? When did CMU notify you of your acceptance and do you have a deadline when you need to notify them of your...

    For Williams College there were over 275 applicants for 15 spots, it was quite competitive. I could imagine that out of those 15 accepted students there are a few that go to Williams College. This would increase their likely hood of being accepted into that program.

    I wanted to inform those that applied to Williams College that they are in final stages of making offers for SMALL 2009. I believe they should have a finalized list of accepted applicants by the end of this week.
