O | 12 May 2021 | Email to check the portal. |

A | 11 May 2021 | Of course Riverside took forever to send a formal rejection. I can't believe I didn't get into any UC's oh well... At least I got in somewhere. |
| University Of British Columbia | Physics, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 10 May 2021 | 10 May 2021 | ||

A | 10 May 2021 | Had an interview back in February. Still waiting to hear back. Has anyone else on the waitlist heard anything? |
| University Of California, Riverside | Physics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 7 May 2021 | I | 7 May 2021 | TTPB: I'm not a physics major but damn, I cannot believe UCR rejected a profile and gpa like yours. Mind sharing more info? Interview? Undergrad/masters in physics? They aren't at UCB or UCLA level to be this selective. I really am curious. I hope you get a better admit. |
| University Of California (UC), Riverside | Physics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 7 May 2021 | A | 7 May 2021 | Finally received their generic rejection letter. That took long enough. Said they consider many factors, all of which I have excelled in. 3.96 GPA, a year of research experience, prestigious internship, tutor, TA. 10th and final rejection. What a terrible year for applications. |
| TU Delft, Netherlands | Applied Physics, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 7 May 2021 Undergrad GPA: 4.00 GRE General (V/Q/W): 0/0/0.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
U | 7 May 2021 | Applied on the deadline as an EU student (1st of April). The offer came 3 days after reaching stage 3 in the Osiaan portal. Undergrad in materials science and engineering coming from top UK uni. Pleasantly surprised to be admitted into the Quantum Devices and Quantum Computing track! Had 3 industrial internships, decent placement in the cohort (top 25%), plenty of extra-curriculars and a compelling letter of motivation. |
| Université Paris-Saclay | Physics, M1 General Physics, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 5 May 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.50 GRE General (V/Q/W): 0/0/0.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
I | 5 May 2021 | Did summer intership in Saclay, no publication |
| McGill University | Physics, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 4 May 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.76 GRE General (V/Q/W): 0/0/0.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
I | 4 May 2021 | :) |
| Montana State University | Physics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 4 May 2021 | I | 4 May 2021 | To the poster below, did you receive a personal response from the physics department in your rejection letter? I was told that I should reapply again next year if I didn't get into a program as I was waitlisted for this year. Sounds like another bait. 0/10. Life seems to be unfair. I just feel like dying. |
| McGill University | Physics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via Website on 4 May 2021 | I | 4 May 2021 | |
| George Mason University (GMU) | Applied And Engineering Physics, Masters (F21) | Accepted via Website on 3 May 2021 Undergrad GPA: n/a GRE General (V/Q/W): 157/163/4.50 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |

I | 3 May 2021 | Astro. It seems that Mcgill always waits until the last minute to send out rejections. Anyway, I have other places to go. |
| McGill University | Physics, Masters (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 3 May 2021 | 3 May 2021 | Tough Luck. Hep-th. | |
| McGill University | Physics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via POST on 3 May 2021 | I | 3 May 2021 | TTPB: Did you really get waitlisted? I have not received any news and in the portal my status is still "In Review". |
| McGill University | Physics Hep-th, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 3 May 2021 | I | 3 May 2021 | |
| Montana State University | Physics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 1 May 2021 | 2 May 2021 | Said they would get back to me at the end of March. Emailed them a week later and they said mid-April. Emailed a week after that and they said I was waitlisted and to wait another week. Emailed them at the end of that week and they finally gave me an answer. Ridiculous. I would have had no idea I was even waitlisted if I didn't reach out to them several times. I'm not mad the wait was long, I'm mad they didn't tell me anything unprompted. | |
| Columbia University | Applied Physics, PhD (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 1 Feb 2021 | 2 May 2021 | TTPB: I was admitted back in February. Judging from events and conversations, there were at least 15 admitted students this cycle. | |
| Weizmann Institute | Physics, Masters (F21) | Accepted via E-mail on 21 Apr 2021 | 1 May 2021 | Is there anyone else here who is going to Weizmann? | |
| Columbia University | Applied Physics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 22 Apr 2021 | O | 30 Apr 2021 | So did they just... not accept anybody this year? I understand that gradcafe users only make up a fraction of total applicants, but it's strange that there was not a single acceptance posted here this year, especially when gradcafe users are generally biased toward posting acceptances and omitting rejections... |
| Simon Fraser University | Physics, Masters (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 29 Apr 2021 | U | 29 Apr 2021 | Have anyone in physics heard back? They said they would give result by the end of April, now is the end of April, but still nothing. |
| University Of California, Davis | Physics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via E-mail on 29 Apr 2021 | 29 Apr 2021 | Has anyone on the waitlist heard back from UC Davis yet? I don't understand what's taking them so long... | |
| University Of Toledo | Physics, PhD (F21) | Wait listed via Other on 27 Apr 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.15 GRE General (V/Q/W): 143/159/3.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
U | 27 Apr 2021 | Anyone is going to UToledo physics? |
| US Universities | Physics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via Other on 27 Apr 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.20 GRE General (V/Q/W): 0/0/0.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
I | 27 Apr 2021 | Applied to 7 universities, and got rejected by 6 (didn't hear back from one). Idk what to do with my life now? Seems like all Americans are getting acceptances and us internationals are left behind |
| Michigan State University | Physics, PhD (F21) | Rejected via E-mail on 27 Apr 2021 Undergrad GPA: 3.65 GRE General (V/Q/W): 0/0/0.00 GRE Subject: n/a ♦ |
U | 27 Apr 2021 | For those who got rejected by all, you were me last year. What I did was asking a professor in my school do continue to do research after graduation (without paid) and reapply next year, so that you will have a stronger background in research. And I highly recommend the book "Getting in to Grad School for Physics", which I didn't read for the first year and I regret it. |
