I can tell you that the POI is looking for a new student with strong programming background, like R, python

Three years research experience, one undergraduate research award, presented at three conference, no pubs

Email says they "anticipate" it is unlikely they will offer me admission due to 5-8 of 150 applications being the limit for the year. It's only February 2nd... while I appreciate them being up front, I'm not sure I'm happy about the uncertain language. Anyways, I'm not a physicist - terrible GRE subject scores. But I have some years of research experience, a master's degree, and 10 conference proceedings and publications. Due to the GRE subject score, I was anticipating rejection.

Email says "it is unlikely that we can offer you admission," phrasing seems a bit weird to me. Also says they only have 5-8 positions to offer and >150 applicants.

3 years of research, 2 papers in progress, perfect GPA in related fields, and 3 strong letters (one from a UMD alumnus). GRE scores were average. Generic email declining my application.

Graduated from UC Berkeley with a BA in Astrophysics. 1 year of research, excellent general GRE scores, average PGRE score, 3 strong letters of recommendation. They said only 5-8 students were admitted out of 150 applicants.
