This is my first acceptance! I thought my low verbal score of GRE decreased the odds, but that was not the case!

HEP Theory. No publications. 15 months of research exp. No GRE/GRE Physics. Major GPA 3.92/4

My first offer! My research is in gravitational waves and relativistic astrophysics ~ 2.5 yrs research experience—some talks and presentations. No pubs yet. PS: Please limit the use of this site. It has been eating my brain and soul for the last few weeks. It is still early in the application season for physics. Believe in yourself and hope that your acceptance soon.

Interview request for next week

Gravity theory, hep-th Emailed by POI for interview Said usually a master is required for PhD at Cambridge but they were sufficiently interested in my app so they want to interview and see if exception can be made

Completely did not expect to land an interview… Really nervous about it, especially with the interview format the email described. The email was personalized and the interviews are in the middle of February. Did not submit GRE, no papers yet but one on the way, and did research at UC in medical physics.
