I emailed BN in 2020 for info on him accepting students, he told me he was. he then emailed me today and told me he actually isn't accepting students. others might, but he said that the school had VERY little funding this year. hope this helps

Probably rejected; Heard accepts and waitlists come 1/26 by email and haven't heard back since then, even when I replied to that email.

I did not receive the accepted/Wait-list email which they were supposed to send on 26th. Which means rejection :(

Same here. Also interviewed a few weeks ago but haven't heard anything. I'm assuming rejection but of course this is a strange year for grad schools

Also interviewed but never heard back. Can't tell if it's a reject or waitlist

I interviewed a couple weeks ago and still haven't heard back. Anyone else still waiting?

They contacted me to have a 30-min interview with the admissions committee.

Could the UHawaii poster explain more? Were they replying to an email from you or letting all the students who applied for them know? Is the whole program not accepting new students or just your PI? If just your PI, would you be okay with sharing initials?

PI emailed and alerted me that the program does not have enough funding to accept a student this year

Waitlisted! There's still a glimmer of hope.

Assuming I'm rejected, since last email said all wait lists and accepts would try to be contacted today.

Whew!!!

interview request from the graduate chair

Email saying admits and wait lists will be emailed or called mostly tomorrow.

Interviewed via phone on 1/14

Interviewed during AAS over phone. 1.5 years undergrad research combined between a small college (0.25 years) and large public university (1.25 years) and 1 year post-bacc research. 1 first first author publication in prep for ApJ. Presented posters at two AAS meetings and have a good amount of outreach and personal/side research projects. Was told I'd hear back in 2 to 4 weeks after my interview.

I had an interview on January 13th. They told me they'll have decisions sent out around the 25th of January for everyone waiting to hear. Good Luck to everyone!

35 minute zoom interview on 1/14/21
