Applied to physics (background is materials engineering), hoping to do condensed matter research. Rejected with email. I assume there is just no funding available, which is unfortunate as I really wanted this university over any others in the U.S. Been working as a civil servant at for NASA 3 years. I will likely try again next year and hopefully will be more lucky.
