BS GPA-3.59, MS GPA-3.87, Publications-21 (14 published, 7 under review), Job experience (3.5 years as Materials Engineer + 3.5 years as Materials Scientist), IELTS-7.0, No GRE. Offered MS program for fall 2026.

Rejected from PhD but rejected to and accepted to Master’s 3/19

Thesis track w/ BHC fellowship for Northwest Coast materials specialty. Might postpone PhD to do this, ended up w/ manic episode after I stayed up 3 days in a row back in December to finish doctoral apps. Lmao. Grateful

Email to check portal. They didn't take any PhDs this year so I'm not surprised.

Tier-1 IIT Undergrad, 7.5/10 GPA, 2.5 yoe as UX Designer at mid-size company, decent portfolio Last 60 creds GPA was < 3.0, hence department had to petition which led to late admit

No GRE. No interview. 2-year full funding guarantee, then RA/TA continuity dependent on performance. So shocked and excited for this! No pubs, 2 manuscripts in preparation, 8 conference presentations, 1 fellowship in my master's.

email to check application portal: I regret to inform you that we are unable to admit you to the graduate program in Physics at the University of Washington. We realize that this decision will be a disappointment to you. The admissions committee evaluates carefully all applications to our graduate program, including your application. We receive around 1,000 applications for admission each year for a very much smaller number of graduate student positions in our program, and therefore are unable to admit many well qualified applicants.
