HEP-ex. Doing my Master’s at a high-research private university (same place as undergrad). Interned at a National Lab. Have 2 papers as a middle author.

Ignore wait-list. Admissions entirely suspended this year due to funding uncertainty, offered to forward application to masters program, to forward application to 2027 cohort, or to refund application fee

"Due to ongoing funding uncertainties, UNH will not be able to admit new students to the physics PhD program for fall 2026." Insanely lame.
