Any news from QI/QC? Saw two offers past weeks. What is sub-field? Were those official from the admission office or unofficial ones from Profs?

I will decline the offer from USC. Finally, I obtained 2 acceptance letters from 11 applications. The outcome is pretty much that I expected before the process. I will attend to USCB for Fall 2020 to do research on Classical and Quantum black holes.
