Generic rejection. I kinda regretted applying after learning of the crime levels in Chicago lol.

Three plasma research experiences; no publication, but have two research summaries; no interviewed.

Surprising rejection considering I received interviews at more competitive schools. Not sure what their criteria are. Maybe they prefer candidates who already have masters degrees.

AMO, quantum information; email to check the portal, generic rejection message

Received an acceptance email from the department. 3 years of research experience in Gravitational Physics and Numerical Relativity. No publications yet, one in prep.
