University of California, Davis Physics Graduate School Admission Results

Phone call extending admission and fellowship from Dr. Lee.

Yayyyyy!

Had 1.5 years lab experience with 1 publication and 2 minors that strengthened my case. No word of open house or funding yet, but acceptance came on a Saturday morning with very little info so currently waiting to hear more.

Recommended for admission. I guess that's accepted, right? This is a bit earlier than I expected to hear anything.

Full offer letter forthcoming in next couple of weeks

Interview date: Feb. 21 and 22

Working with someone from the faculty already.

Phone interview with POI- contacted by email.

Email to check decision letter. Reason for rejection: "Academic work is not as competitive as that of other applicants." then the letter ends by saying: "if in the future you believe that your accomplishments may be competitive, please do not hesitate to reapply". Unfortunately, I can not time travel to the past and change my academic work.

Contacted about status, informed that they would not be making any other offers.

Contacted about my statusreceived the following: Here is where things stand. The highest ranked students have been sent admission offers. They have until April 15, 2013, by which to respond. Depending on how many accept, we may or may not admit additional students. Hence, it is possible, although there is no guarantee, that you still might receive an offer from us.

Got the email saying the admission decision was made. I would say, the letter was very sincere, and it actually listed the reason why I wasn't get in. I was not too sad about it tho my Cali dream is dying, but I'm actually going to a better program.
