Ignore the status. Anybody is still waiting for UIowa? Didn;t many updates for UIowa there. I think I'm ghosted after the interview (contacted my interviewer and the AO, both no response). My interviewer told me the open house should be at the end of March

Ignore status. Does anyone know how I can contact the department at NYU? I'm waiting on a decision from them, but have another offer that I'm being asked to respond to ASAP (on account of the funding situation). I assume it's rejection at this point, however this school is my first choice and I'm holding out hope. I tried writing to the Graduate Program Coordinator and "[email protected]", and neither email address worked. I'd feel bad and intrusive directly emailing the department chair, and I doubt the general GSAS admissions email would be appropriate here.

Email to check portal. Year three. Three full cycles of rejections. Every single program, every single application—denied. Again. I graduated two years ago from a T10 university with a B.Sc. in physics and mathematics with a minor in physical chemistry. Eight years of research experience in high-energy theory and experiment—two at a university while still in high school, four during undergrad, and two more post-graduation. I took two semesters of graduate-level coursework as an undergrad. Spent summers in three NSF REU programs, attended a summer school in high-energy theory, and another in experimental particle physics. Completed a year-long senior thesis on top of my ongoing research at my home university. Published multiple papers, five first author. Presented at three undergraduate research symposia, two mixed symposia, and two major conferences. Three years as a teaching assistant in undergrad. The last year spent as a physics instructor at a community college. Like an 880 on the PGRE. This cycle, I changed everything. New essays, a reworked CV, three entirely different recommenders, a new fourth recommender. It didn’t matter. The outcome was the same. I have no idea what else I could have done. No idea what I’m missing. No idea if there was ever a path forward in the first place, or if I was just clinging to the illusion of one. Physics doesn’t want me. I get it now. Good luck to everyone else. If you aren't Vishnu himself you evidently aren't good enough for physics.
