hep-th

hep-th, accepted without interview. Research experience in cond-mat theory (1 paper), hep-th, and hep-ex.

CME, didn't get an interview so this was expected at this point!

Nucl-ex. Expected. I am happy with my current offer but kind of had hopes for MIT. But MIT is MIT lol. Can't complain about my current offer but want to go somewhere urban :( which is hard.

Turns out that different groups have different progress.

It is well. CMT

astro, had an interview with committee

TTPB: Same buddy, very nervous here.

Astrophysics/gravitational waves

Email said there were 1500 applicants and 50 positions to fill. Applied for theoretical cosmology.

TTPB: I haven't heard anything either. If they respond, will you please post an update here?

What if I did not receive any updates? Also I emailed and asked this question to grad office while have not received a reply.
