Graduate School Admission Results

Email from Boulder: "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." In summary, it is very unlikely that you will be admitted to the CU physics Ph.D. program. You should definitely make plans based on not receiving an offer from us. A few of you (out of 50) may end up receiving an offer. We plan to finalize our admissions by April 11.

Generic response. It should be a requirement that these departments at least ATTEMPT to reach out to you so you can talk to someone. Giving anyone a fair shake from a piece of paper is impossible. I have sent multiple emails to try to get any kind of explanation for the rejection but have received nothing back. The entire system is completely broken and balanced unfairly.

Theres not even auto generated letter sent via email. Instead, I need to go to their website to see the rejection myself. So convient for them.. 0 respect for the applicants
