Journalism background and 5+ years of work experience. No design background so I'm not entirely surprised but still bummed.

I am so glad the wait is over.

Without any interview and would not got a notice for joining the Virtual info session in February, 9% of admission this year, and transfer to MS application, Good luck for all. Mid-level GPA, Strong LOR, Strong SOP, One journal paper as 1st author, one paper submitted as 1st author, and one conference paper in MRS as 1st author. lol

Happily rejected

Generic Rejection Letter saying they received 600 applications.

hated this season. 3 yrs of research in relevant area, 2 pubs plus several grad classes. Looks like it is my fault for being an international.

This hurts. I guess that UW, despite its newness, is as fiercely competitive as other top-tier film schools in the nation. :(

Got admitted into multiple top 10 physics schools and Ivies so not really upset, but it really goes to show that this entire process is really hit or miss, especially for international students.

Not expected at all! 3 years of research experience, good gpa, publications. I don't know what more is needed to please the Grad Admission Committee Thank you for your application to the University of Washington Graduate School. I regret to inform you that we are unable to admit you to the graduate program in Physics at the University of Washington. We realize that this decision will be a disappointment to you. The admissions committee evaluates carefully all applications to our graduate program, including your application. We receive over 600 applications for admission each year for a very much smaller number of graduate student positions in our program, and therefore are unable to admit many well qualified applicants. I wish you success in pursuing your interests in physics. Jiun-Haw Chu, Professor Chair Graduate Admissions Committee

so sad, hep-ex

Rejection email. CME

CME. Little disappointed but have another full funded offer

AWARE WHEN YOU APPLY University of Washington!! Please apply for matriculated.(NOT NON-MATRICULATED) I talked to the staff of representative of Physics department because I applied non-matriculated. I wanted to get refund that I applied and called UW physics department. Graduate staff told me that I would get a refund for applying wrong section. But, she processed by giving this letter. I think regardless of the result I think UW physics department staff are lazy and irresponsible who just want to get some money. WHAT A SHAME!!!!!!! Thank you for applying to a Graduate Non-Matriculated program of study at the University of Washington Graduate School. Your file was reviewed by the graduate admissions committee in the Physics (PhD) program but was not among the few that were selected for admission. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Graduate Advisor or the Graduate School office at [email protected]. Sincerely, Graduate Enrollment Management Services

Feels good man, my 1st choice school. Got rejected from the other 5/6 schools I applied to. I'm not a strong candidate nor super academic like other applicants, but I really loved this department and gave it my all, spoke with many of the faculty prior to applying and such.

received an email with the rejection, portal is also updated

A little surprised, but have other offers so not too tragic.
