UIUC CME/T. Got an email from Lance (Assoc. head of grad program) with my decision. Bit of a surprise, I did one of my REUs here. 5a/6r/1w/1p

Have any international students who applied to Toronto heard back from them at all? Already have 15 rejections for hep-th and just want to move on with my life but they are taking forever to respond.

Astrophysics. Was told I am waitlisted upon enquiry. If you are accepted to UConn and do not intend to go, please reject their offer soon. Thank you.

Actually wait listed (upon inquiry).My subfield is Biophysics /Biological Physics.Please decline if you have better offers ASAP.

(CUNY)Please decline your offer if you do not want to attend. I am waitlisted. CMP

Please decline if you are not going. Don't hold an offer. Please be kind, please.

Was interviewed last month, 3.8 GPA in math & physics classes. 1 summer REU. I will most likely decline because I have a better offer

Ignore Waitlist: Looks like its been a tough year for HEP-th. I got into one program, but its not a very big HEP-th program. 5 students, 4 faculty (One string theorist with H-index of around 27, 3 lattice gauge theorists, another string theorist that *just* retired ), minimal funding, no classes on string theory etc offered. I'm wondering; is it possible to be successful in such a program? By success I mean is it possible to continue a career in HEP-th in academia or otherwise after graduating from such a program ? If not, should I try to switch subfields ? I really want to do HEP-th but I also don't want to graduate with no career prospects and another 5 years of regret. Honestly just feeling a bit lost and unsure of what I should do. When I visited I didn't get a good feeling about the HEP-th group. If I decide to switch, should I consider reapplying next year for something else, or should I just take what I have and make the most of it ? The university I got into is very very very good (best in the world) for a few select subfields, but I'm not sure I would want to switch into those subfields. My background is in experimental physics and condensed matter, so maybe if I applied again for something more like condensed matter I'd have better luck ? Re applying would be a giant pain, and who knows, maybe I wouldn't even get in anywhere if I reapplied, but I really don't feel great about the place I got into. (Also I really don't want to do anything other than HEP-th, but I'd rather spend 5 years being successful at something else than 5 years failing at HEP-th) TL;DR- I got into one HEP-th program, but I don't have a very good feeling about it and don't know what to do. Also sorry for posting this here, I didn't know where else to post this.

Was on waitlist but just got accepted!

hep-th, 4 publications, strong LORs (one of the recommenders is very well known), pGRE 990. Tough competition this year, it seems. All rejects.

PhD Track program. The application portal in the Master section was updated.

HEP -Th. Generic Rejection Letter. Thought I have good chances since my research work matched with a faculty.

Whats wrong with UMD? Why are they not declaring results? Did anyone contact the admission committee?

HEP-Ph. Informed previously by the graduate co ordinator but official rejection arrived today.

Ignore waitlist; What's wrong with UCSD. They are not even replying to any of the emails regarding the decison!

CMT. Research experience aligns with Prof. Lambrecht, who said he has openings. Contacted Prof. Zhang too, who may not have openings. A bit disappointed. But they are the only two guys actively working on CMT. So, I guess competition was pretty hard.
