Super shocked about this. I had a lot of research experience (a couple different theory projects and a lot of time in the lab) and a bit of grad coursework which I think helped me, but my application was by no means perfect.

Super relieved to get this, had been all bad news so far. Got an email earlier in the day asking if I had any interest in AMO as they didn't have room for me in astro (my indicated interest on my application. Later in the same day got an email to check portal for update and I was accepted with funding!
