Penn State University Physics Graduate School Admission Results

Notified by the PI. Research in HEP Astro exp with presentation at APS. Paper in the works. The low pGRE killed all my chances.

so sad!

CME from one of the old five IITs. One summer intern at Stanford. Applied to 14 of the top 20 physics schools according to USNWR. 0/14. Not a single admission. Rejected from everywhere. What's wrong with the schools this year? Really frustrated, guys. No hope. After going through the long application process which I prepared for so hard, it feels frightening to think of applying again next year.

CMT

so sad:(

AMO

Hep-theory. I guess it is really hard to get in a grad school for this field. Congratulations to all those got admitted.

Hep-th. Undergrad in EEE, currently doing M.S. in physics. 1 journal publication, 1 conference publication

One of my hopefuls. Undergrad in south Asia, in a college well known for Engineering. My interest was in CMT. Congratulations for the selected applicants, and of course, best of luck for those who did not get it. Hope that everyone gets good universities by the end of the season.

Got better offers

Anyone still waiting to hear from Penn State? Does anyone know if their open house is over? Thanks!

Rejected upon inquiry for Penn state. It waste me too much time to get the result! Also, Rice University still haven't sent me the results and never replied students' emails. What an irresponsible department it is! F***!

email to check website. applied for grav/cosm theory

One of my required referees went AWOL, but I still got admitted... interesting.

To the poster below, Did you have an interview prior to the acceptance and did you have contact with professors beforehand?
