Physics, New York University Physics & mathematics double major with 5 years of continuous research experience (starting 1 year prior to entering college), two REUs, one non-REU summer research program, one summer school in high-energy theory, and one summer school in mathematics (participated in two programs over some summers). One first-author publication, another in writing, and one poster presentation at an undergraduate research symposium. Three years as a teaching assistant for introductory physics courses, and one semester as a teaching assistant for vector calculus. Wrote and/or significantly contributed to a few pieces of open-source software widely used in the field. Rejected by all 20 schools I applied to this year, and finding it incredibly hard to get a job with a physics/math degree.

Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University - Fort Collins Was emailed by one of the researchers because their first option fell through to see if I was still interested in joining their group. Seems I was on a waitlist as I was not previously notified of any acceptance or rejection. Already accepted another school though. Good luck to all

Statistics, Texas A&M University - College Station (TAMU) No GRE was submitted. The director was contacted at first and then the official decision arrived a few hours later. No changes in the application portal. For the prospective students: What I noticed was, that most international students may be getting offers in the first 2-3 weeks of April. So keep grinding and have a little faith. Good luck y'all...

Mechanical Engineering, UCLA Interviewed in January and the professor already told me that he wouldn't have any openings this year weeks ago, it was expected. If you did not graduate from the USA or best universities, people are not so interested in investing in you and expect you to have your own funding for the first year, particularly for the top universities. I already have a good offer and accepted it. To whoever reading this: rejection is not all about you but the system, funding, and openings. Never let any rejection define you! We are living in a world where drop-outs rule. It's all about shaping your own ideas and making them true. Continue with people who believe in you, are willing to invest in you, and do great things! - Cheers xoxo

Statistics, University Of Pennsylvania Generic rejection, the odds were not in my favor. No research experience or publications. Currently employed full time as a statistician - might pursue a masters degree instead. Congrats to all who’ve been waitlisted and/or accepted!

East Asian Studies, University Of Oregon During the period between my undergraduate studies and this graduate application, I took a substantial break. It's worth noting that I already possess an MA from my undergraduate institution. Reflecting on my application process, I don't believe that having a graduate degree beforehand significantly contributed to my candidacy. Instead, I attribute the strength of my application to actively participating in conventions, presenting research, and networking, all of which enhanced my resume/CV.

Applied Physics, Northwestern University Hi. Please decline NU ASAP if you have better choices. This waitlist is my only hope as I have been rejected by all the other 8 programs I have applied......(It is such a big disaster this year) Thanks for your kind help.

Information, University Of Toronto Moved off the waitlist. This is my 5th year applying to Phd programs, in the past all rejections aside from one failed waitlist from truly mediocre schools. My advice is to just keep going, no matter how sad and frustrating this process is. If you just keep trying and working your ass off revising your SOP and sample, you will find the right place and advisor for you. It took me forever, but I am glad it did because ended up in this incredible program with the perfect advisor for my research. Lots of tears, anger, and frustration over the years. Good luck to everyone else who has been through it. Try again and again and again and again.

Political Science, Temple University As of today, nobody has accepted Temple's (funded!) offer for the Poli Sci Phd Program - if you plan on not going here, can you please let them know? Some of us actually have this as our first choice school and are languishing on the waitlist. Y'all aren't being the people Mr. Rogers thought you could be.
