Standard rejection email.

1-year of research experience developing spaceflight instrumentation for NASA missions. 2/3 Strong LOR's. I poured my souI into my SoP. I really thought I had a chance!

Unfortunate.. Looks like standard rejection letter. "This year fewer than 8% of applicants were admitted"

Interview via zoom

Generic rejection. They indicted less than 8% of people got in. Based on previous results, they have chosen all their students already. Most likely the rest of results will be rejections

“Thank you for your interest....fewer than 8% were admitted.”

Unbelievable, 8 years work exp. 3 years college teaching exp. 1 article 2 master degree 3 strong recommendation letter 3 years RA Many years research exp. and ...

Kind of Expected. This year is crowded. nucl-ex.

Anyone reach out for further updates yet?

TTPB: Saying good luck has no consequence on another's admittance. It's courtesy. And acceptance into these programs is often based on luck. You could be completely qualified and get rejected. Often, admissions committees make mistakes. How many people get admitted each year, how many finish their PhD and how many are successful at research? You honestly don't think acceptance into this program means your H-index is guaranteed to break 100, let alone 50. There's always a bell curve, or more fittingly a pareto distribution with grad student quality. ;) Hope you're the latter.

Excited

Saying Good luck to others doesn't make any sense since admissions is zero sum.

Perfect GPA, no publication, an honest/confident SoP, 7 LoRs (not from famous but from professors who know me well). No interview, no GRE
