UMASS Lowell	Medical Physics, PhD (F20)	Rejected via Website on 19 May 2020	A	19 May 2020	Was told they're not accepting PhD candidates because of budget issues resulting from COVID. Got into Master's and will likely do that and re-apply to PhD next year.

University Of California, Davis	Physics, PhD (F20)	Accepted via E-mail on 8 May 2020	A	9 May 2020	After being rejected from another 8 graduate programs in California, and after literally losing all hope, this acceptance letter came through today, roughly 3 weeks after the April 15th deadline! They took longer this year due to the COVID-19 situation.. I guess the moral of the story is to (sometimes!) not give up on your hopes and dreams, for they might come true after all (even if it takes a little longer)!

University Of Oxford	Physics, PhD (F20)	Other via E-mail on 29 Apr 2020		29 Apr 2020	TTPB: Received the covid-19 update but haven't heard anything from the department (CMP). It has been over the 10 week period stipulated on their website but I guess things have been pushed back a little. I have heard from applicants from previous years that they can be notoriously slow.
Stevens Institute Of Technology	Physics, PhD (F20)	Rejected via E-mail on 29 Apr 2020	I	28 Apr 2020	Unfortunately we do not have additional funding to support RA/TA positions for Fall2020. It might be possible to support a small number of students for the Spring 2021 semester but the situation is still unclear and the process remains competitive i.e. students with GRE around 170 and GPA near 4.0 have the highest likelihood to succeed. Best regards, Stefan Strauf
