email to check the portal

Interests in CMT and Quantum information. Research experience in materials physics. One abstract publication with conference presentation, 2 papers in progress. PGRE 850 (70th percentile). Emailed to check portal.

Checked portal and noticed a generic rejection. I kinda expected to get in with my experience in the field. Eh.

No email, just a rejection letter in the application portal.

I emailed the admissions director, and I was informed they are not expecting to make more offers...

Hepex. Keep in touch with one of the potential PIs. Admitted with a TA position for 9 months, ~24k. 1.5 years of relative experience and 3 strong letters from my research PI.

2.5 years of research experience and two papers scheduled to release. I had great reccs too but alas nothing can change that gpa. No surprised but disappointed.

Contacted the program coordinator to ask about the status. If you aren't going to go here, please decline your offer as it is my #1 destination :)

Got a conditional offer

Quantum Technology specialization (course-based master's) - 5,000 in aid

Admitted to ALP, interview in February went so and so. My 2 interviews for Astro were better, actually ... Very long process, I'm tired but happy. And it's not over yet: need to secure funding from college.
