I am sorry to inform you that we are not able to offer you admission to the graduate program in physics at the University of Colorado Boulder. We have reviewed all of the 1239 applications carefully, considering transcripts, recommendation letters, CV, and personal statements. Because of the large number of applications and limited number of available spaces, we are not able to offer admission to many, very qualified applicants. We wish you the best in your pursuit of a physics career.
