Notes
Initially contacted Dec 23rd for an interview on Jan 6th (materials track). Basically they said they wanted to see if I was a good fit as the department is small and they have limited spots available. Received an email today that I was accepted. To give an idea of the stats that got me in: GPA was 3.68/4.00 in physics from an elite LAC. Didn't take the GRE. Had one publication as first author in a well regarded astronomy/astrophysics journal and one as a co-author in a conference proceeding. Research experience consisted of two summers in college (one at my college with one of my profs and another in an REU program), a failed senior thesis, and one and a half years (as of application submission) working in industry. Congrats to all those accepted and good luck to those still waiting to hear back!
