- Program - Quantum Undergrad - HKU & Cambridge, first honours Publication - 1 PRD Result - rejected and pushed to master program "Thank you for applying to the Ph.D. program in Quantum Science and Engineering at the University of Chicago for the 2026 academic year. The Admissions Committee has reviewed your application, and we regret that we are unable to offer you admission to the doctoral program at this time. While we are unable to offer you admission, we recognize and commend your academic and personal achievements. This year’s applicant pool was one of our largest and most competitive with many highly qualified applicants for a limited number of spaces. Nonetheless, our faculty admissions committee was enthusiastic about your application, and we have asked the Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) program to consider your application for admission. Ph.D. applicants of great promise, such as yourself, are referred by the faculty to the Master of Engineering program, where students can make the most of rigorous coursework among our Ph.D. students and the talented students in the M.Eng. program. Graduates go on to pursue doctoral work at highly ranked programs (including our own), while others discover a career aspiration that they hadn’t previously considered. The admissions committee is currently reviewing applications with an eye to intellectual promise, academic accomplishment, and fit for this intensive master’s program in the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering. The review process will be completed by mid-February. While you await the committee’s decision, I encourage you to learn about Master of Engineering program by visiting their website. "
