hep-th, quantum gravity. Unofficial acceptance from open house invitation two weeks ago, second unofficial notification with email from potential PI last week, and finally today official offer letter by mail. PI said in email that “ the recent graduate student strike has created some uncertainty in the financial situation of academic departments at the University of California. This is what caused the delays in writing the offer letter.” This might be part of the reason schools such as UCSB/UC Santa Cruz/UC San Diego/UCLA have still not sent out everything.

Had an interview but get rejected email after a week.

Ignore interview, did anyone else not get any update from stony? Should I consider myself waitlisted judging from their past years?

Not too surprised after all rejections amidst the terrible competence this year

email to check the update on application status page. No interview.

Did you guys receive a shady email that says you are rejected and still the portal shows a review in progress?

Ignore waitlist. Does anyone knows why there are frequent acceptance at some random time but never heard about waitlist or rejection yet. I am eagerly waiting for UW.

Ignore waitlist. Anybody heard anything?

Generic rejection. 3 astro projects, 2 other. No paper yet. No GRE.

Applied for AMO; 9 mos. research & 1 poster in non-AMO field; 2 summer research internships. (1a/6r/3p). GPA dropped from December to January.

Applied for AMO; 9 mos. research & 1 poster in non-AMO field; 2 summer research internships. Perhaps my responses to their short-answer questions got me over the edge. I suspect I was at the tail end of acceptances. Very happy to have gotten in somewhere! (1a/6r/3p)

hep-th. RNM tuiqian!

Reason: Non-Competitive
