Real waitlist. If anyone applying for cmt or cmx has received better offers, please decline ucsd. It would really give me great help. Thank you very much!

Rejected off the waitlist. Switching to the industry now!

CMX. Had a really good connection with POI before applying. Thought that might give me a chance even though this was kind of a reach.

hep-th, expected as they sent out all offers weeks ago. Already got into elsewhere tho

hep-th. Major CGPA 3.92/4. TOEFL 114/120. Email to check portal. Generic rejection

Hep-th. Generic rejection letter.

I applied to more than 20 schools. Only 3 remained undeclared; others all rejected me. Hep-th, very tough year. I am not sure what these schools want the applicants of Hepth to be. I have consulted around 5 professors in hepth, especially in string theory, about graduate application preparation. One of them told me to take challenging courses and get good grades, but research is unnecessary. Another one told me to find any possible research to do. Most professors I consulted just told me to learn GR and QFT, and undergraduate research in theoretical high energy is not generally possible. They also suggested me to expand my field of interest, because the positions for string theory are always limited. I have taken graduate math courses including algebraic topology and differentiable manifold to prepare for the research because I saw many papers use them. However, one professor I consulted told me a little differential geometry is enough for the sub-direction of string theory he is doing. It seems the preparation really depends on the specific sub-direction, but the competition for such a limited position is too fierce. I will also apply to some master of math or physics programs. Whatever, good luck to everyone.

Hep-th

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

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

Master's degree, two REUs and several years of work experience in a tech field. Strong letters. Hep ex.

CMT.

Email to check the portal. QIS/AMO. No publications. This is really disappointing.

Rejection after contacting Ms Betty Byers. QIS Theory. I'm still waiting for results from one more school, my only hope to start a PhD this year.

Ignore waitlist. I guess UCLA adcom has forgotten to declare results for international students this time. Can we mass mail them to declare results since mid March has already passed. Atleast declare results even if its a rejection, atleast i ll get a closure.

Hep-th what a surprise!

Ignore waitlisted; Anyone got any notifications from UCSD in hep-th?
