Okay, the funniest thing is I was looking at past Princeton acceptances and rejections, etc. on here in standard anxious applicant protocol when I LITERALLY got the email--divine timing or something huh? I am so excited and honored no matter what happens. GPA is MA. The interview is on 1/26.

Email to do a casual 15-minute interview via Zoom! :)

applied physics

Two faculty interviewed. Have to say, it was a bit of awkward because the whole conversation felt scripted. It was a long interview (1 hr+) and half of the interview was that both described what kind of project they had been working on. I was curious and able to ask questions about the potential projects.

Received the final interview on 30th Jan.

Received notice of forthcoming interview via email; will be early Feb

Actual interview won't be until February. Apparently they're having some administrative issues which are slowing everything down, so don't stress if you haven't heard anything!

Soft rejection after inquiring with my POI - basically said I didn't make the interview list.

I have 2.0 GPA but I got a rec from Joseph Polchinski, RIP my boi
