Email from Boulder: "You are one of about 50 students who has neither been admitted nor denied admission to the CU Boulder physics Ph.D. program. Last year, we ended up with a very large incoming class of 80 students compared to our target of 60. Last year we admitted 248 students. To compensate for last year and to be conservative given the uncertainty in federal funding, we have admitted only 123 out of 1224 applications. In a normal year, nearly all of you would be admitted to our program. Unfortunately, this is not a normal year. The reason that we have kept your application active is in case it seems that our entering class will be even smaller than our target. If that were to occur, we may be able to admit a handful of you." In summary, it is very unlikely that you will be admitted to the CU physics Ph.D. program. You should definitely make plans based on not receiving an offer from us. A few of you (out of 50) may end up receiving an offer. We plan to finalize our admissions by April 11.

Email went to spam so I didn’t see it until yesterday

Applied for PhD, got into the MS program

Received an email to check application status on portal.

I asked the coordinator for my status, and they told me I'm in the waitlist. On the same time, they are waiting for other candidates' responses. To the candidates who received the offer from CU Boulder, if you have any other dominant offers, please decline this offer. Thank you so much! It's a great deal for me.

Got moved from research-based to Professional MSCS.
