M1 ICFP, Rejected without interview

Ignore status. Has anyone heard anything from Northeastern? I see a waitlist and a few invites to an in-person open house on here. Should I assume rejection at this point?

Forget waitlist. Does anyone know the status of decisions from UT Austin, NYU, USC, Penn State? Are they done with sending out offers?

If you have received an offer from this program but are planning to accept another opportunity—especially if you have a better offer elsewhere—I would sincerely appreciate it if you could inform the university of your decision as soon as possible.

Mentioned they sent out about 50% of the number of acceptances compared to last year because of federal funding uncertainty and larger than usual class last year. email extract: "You are one of about 50 students who has neither been admitted nor denied admission to the CU Boulder physics Ph.D. program. Last year, we ended up with a very large incoming class of 80 students compared to our target of 60. Last year we admitted 248 students. To compensate for last year and to be conservative given the uncertainty in federal funding, we have admitted only 123 out of 1224 applications. In a normal year, nearly all of you would be admitted to our program. Unfortunately, this is not a normal year. The reason that we have kept your application active is in case it seems that our entering class will be even smaller than our target. If that were to occur, we may be able to admit a handful of you."
